I\u2019m taking\u00a0a break from writer\u2019s block to write.<\/p>\n
If you follow this blog you know it is a chronicle of the process of writing\u00a0 a book and pursuing my other visions i.e. helping others to clarify and achieve their visions of success.\u00a0 Since beginning this process about two years ago my\u00a0vision has taken many twists and turns.\u00a0 I am still working on the non-fiction book on women living their visions and still collecting data. If you would like to be included in that project and possibly have your story told please click\u00a0The Vision Quest Project<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n One of the turns this process\u00a0has taken is a foray into writing fiction. This unexpected turn came about when I was asked to submit a piece\u00a0for the anthology Many Paths, Many Feet<\/a>,<\/strong> which is due in\u00a0March .\u00a0 For some reason a sort of fairy tale emerged. I had never really intended to write fiction but\u00a0here it was.\u00a0 I found out that I had a story, one that has pretty much been writing itself.\u00a0 This unexpected turn has\u00a0led me to take\u00a0a writing class.\u00a0I\u00a0figure if I am going to do this I better learn something about it. So,\u00a0I had my first class\u00a0today at The Writer\u2019s Center<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0in Bethesda, MD.\u00a0 I think I am going to like the class.\u00a0 Our teacher Ann McLaughlin<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0has published five novels and taught at American University so I feel pretty sure she will be helpful.<\/p>\n What about the writer\u2019s block you say?\u00a0 Well I\u2019m in Book II of The Adventures of Isabelle<\/em> and last night I kinda hit a snag and didn\u2019t feel like writing\u2026I am not panicked just yet.\u00a0 My instinct says to skip around and work on a\u00a0scene that has some energy behind it and don\u2019t force\u00a0scenes that do\u00a0not.\u00a0 What scene that is going to be I\u2019m not sure.\u00a0 Right now it feels like a scene of a girl sitting in front of her fireplace on a cold snowy day taking a nap after working on her blog, but we shall see.<\/p>\n As always I will keep you posted and of course invite you to do the same\u2026drop me a line<\/strong> <\/a>and let me know how the pursuit of your visions. dreams, or goals is coming along.<\/p>\n Much continued success!<\/p>\n (first posted 1.30.10)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I\u2019m taking\u00a0a break from writer\u2019s block to write.
