Renewing Self-Belief




Although Easter is a religious holiday commemorating the resurrection of Jesus, the buck doesn’t stop there. Easter behooves one to reflect upon the themes of rebirth, reinvention, or renewal as deemed necessary by each individual.
For me, it’s renewing self-belief.
In what?
My capacity as a writer.
Why?
Because it’s so easy to get sidelined if you’re not grounded in the courage of your convictions. Hence, I’m renewing self-belief in my capacity as a writer who navigates the arduous course that comes with the territory of self-publication.
~
I will continue to take unsolicited advice from the so-called “experts” with a grain of salt.
I will continue to progress along my Work in Progress at my own pace, reaching “the end,” when my characters are ready, and not before.
I will continue to keep the faith that book sales are forthcoming as a result of the merit of my writing—without my offering them for “free”.
That said, I will continue to respect the opinions and practices of other Indies navigating their own rugged terrain the way they see fit.
I will continue to support fellow Indies by purchasing, reading, and reviewing their books. MyTBR list is deep!
*Whatever your walk of life, may you continue to foster self-belief by any means necessary.

Eva’s Byte #517 – The Spin I’m In
There’s the Spinners, an R&B vocal group out of Detroit who had a string of hit singles and albums during the Sixties and Seventies. One of my faves, “I’ll Be Around”.
Then, there’s the salad spinner, a kitchen gadget used to remove excess water from washed salad greens by spinning the leaves in a perforated basket.
That’s what I’m talkin’ about!
Come Spring, my fancy turns to thoughts of preparing dinner salads for my evening meal. For starters, I’ll rely on my salad spinner for washing and drying lettuce leaves.
It’s a given, my salad days require frequent supermarket trips to stock up on fresh produce. At the bare minimum, my ingredients include: dark green lettuce, tomato, cucumber, red onion, bell pepper, cheese, and a hard-boiled egg.
In this writer’s capacity of spinning a story in the genre of Contemporary, I’ve finished drafting chapter 11 (1573 words). I’m composing chapter 12 (357 words thus far).
*May each of us spin ourselves in the right direction for making healthy choices and wise decisions.
My sincere appreciation to you for reading this far.
