Dear Writing – thank you

Dear Writing,
We’ve been through so much together. I just wanted to take a moment to let you know how much I truly appreciate you. You always listen when I need somebody to talk to. You’re always willing to play whatever games I want to play (well, most of the time). You experience the breadth and depth of emotion with me.
I just can’t begin to express how much you mean to me. I want to be better every day because you always give me hope. Hope that I’ll be able to share my ideas and inspirations with the rest of the world. And I always believe that you will help me do this. Together we can create such fun and exciting places and people. We can create a whole new world together if we want to.
Thank you for being you. Thank you for helping me to be a better me.
Gratefully,
LJ

Dear Writing, you are my priority
| October 1, 2011 | Posted by ljquillyn under Dear Writing, Things that inspire me |
Dear Writing,
I’m really sorry that it’s been a few days since I’ve been able to make time for you. I’m in a bit of a funk. I think all the anxiety from wedding planning (and the fact that the wedding is in a week) is kind of freaking me out. I just feel tired and crazy all the time.
Anyway, excuses, excuses. But I did want to tell you about a neat realization that I had this week. I was watching a webinar put on by Rochelle Melander, the Write Now Coach. Her topic was How to Make Writing a Priority. It was all about you! It sort of felt like the couples counseling that we needed.
What stuck out the most to me was her suggestion that the best course of action might be to imagine your best possible self, plan goals toward that, and prioritize them with how you spend your time. If writing is the most important thing to you, then write first thing in the morning. This is the second time that I’ve felt like the universe was telling me that in the morning would be the best time to write. I happen to agree. Early in the morning, I am still enough in the state between waking and sleep to allow my right brain to take the lead.
Mrs. Melander also mentioned something that I’ve heard time and again. This is paraphrased of course, but she said that if you declare your priorities/hopes to the universe, the universe has a way of aligning so that you can pursue them. Actually, I have long believed this. I just love to hear other people say it. Anyhow, I feel okay about this. I hope that we are still okay. I’m still working out my goal setting, but I know that creative pursuits are first on the agenda each day. When I wake up, I’m all yours.
With love,
Lindsey

Confessions of a writer, I’m trying to trust you

Dearest Writing,
I have another confession to make. Again, I’ve forsaken you for other jobs which bring with them lucrative regular income. Well, not even for other jobs, for the possibility of other jobs! I feel wretched about this. I know that you want to provide for me like a good partner would. I know you do. I just won’t let you try. I don’t know why I can’t do this. I just freak out I guess because there’s so much uncertainty. I’m such a mess. But, at least I’m talking to you about it this time, rather than pretending there’s nothing going on.
I am trying to get better. I have no real prospects right now. I’m at your mercy. I’m working to relax and give my heart over to you with full love and respect and trust. I can do this.
Okay, where do you want to start? I’ve been providing all the direction so far. I’m listening, just tell me.
Faithfully,
LJ

Confessions of a Writer, Time
| September 5, 2011 | Posted by ljquillyn under Dear Writing, Musing on life, Things that inspire me, Writing with confidence |
Hi again, Writing.
I hope you’re well this morning. I know I kind of dropped a bombshell on you the last time we spoke. I hope things are still okay between us. Well, better than okay, really.
Anyhow, I just wanted to spend some time together today. I was looking at my calendar and realized that I had something planned every day for the next week. Except Tuesday, I think. I guess I just try to be flexible when other people want to get together. You know. I’ve always thought that you’d just be there, so I figured that I could schedule other things first and you could take whatever was leftover, if anything. I realize now that I can’t do that. I need to make sure to put you first. What days are good for you next week?
Every day? Okay, but when? I don’t know. I mean, I can’t read your mind.
Oh, you want me to wake up thinking of you and fall asleep thinking of you? Yeah, I suppose that would make sense. I wouldn’t want anything less if I were you.
With time,
LJ
