The Cottage of Blog
Been a long time since I've written into my journal. This is supposed to be a writing journal, but it's kind of grown into something else. What else you ask?
Hmm. Good question. An inconsistent something else.
the most important growth and development came, I think, when I decided to retire next June and write full time. So there. I've said it publically. I plan on retiring. I've been toying with this for a while. I may still vacillate many more times before I go down to the "board" and fill out the papers. Every morning I think twice, by the end of the day, I'm sure I'm making the right decision.
Then comes the real hard decision on how to organize your time. I should be good at that, I keep telling myself. But, as good as I am under pressure, my body has been falling apart because of that, lately. And, when I work under extreme pressure and stress, it's for a real life, "do it or die" scenario. Writing, until I'm under extreme demands from a publisher (were that but true) I'll have to create my own. My own timetables, my own editorial expertise, my own ingenuity. My own entitiy.
they say "no man is an island" but in writing, I think one man or woman must be, to a certain point.
And it's so easy to procrastinate.
Well, darlings, I have to go and get stressed again.
Take care from The Cottage of Blog. Tomorrow, I'll share with you the craft books I love, and if I have time, why I love them. It's about time this blog became a writer's blog again.

I used to think that I didn't work well under pressure, but now I think I'd be just fine. The fact that somebody actually saw promise in what I wrote would inspire me.
