Balance and Perspective

Faith gives you an inner strength and a sense of balance and perspective in life ~ Gregory Peck
Do you have faith in your dream journey? Do you have faith in the others that went before you? The systems already in place to help you be successful? Do you have faith in yourself?
If you answered yes to any of those questions, good for you! I’m glad that you have faith in everyone and everything, including yourself, out there to make yourself successful. If you answered yes, it sounds to me like you are well on your way to achieving the dream goals you’ve set for yourself.
If you answered no to any of the questions, you’re not alone. Most of us had some fears when setting out to chase our dreams. For me, I didn’t always have faith in myself. I would work hard for a limited amount of time and then I let other “life” things get in the way of my writing routines. Once I identified the best time for me to write and I’ve prove to myself that I can write a complete novel from beginning to end. I have faith in myself to get up every morning at 5:00 AM and get the writing chores done before anything else, even most weekends.
If you’re joining a group of people at different stages of your common dream journey, it’s usually easy to see what success can look like. Those people (and I am one of them now) might have more faith in your than yourself. Lean on them, soak in everything they have to tell, and one day you will find that faith in yourself to make things happen.
Do you have faith in yourself?

Time's Fun!

Time’s fun when you’re having flies ~ Kermit the Frog
I am gearing up to attend my very first conference as a writer! Rainbow Con 2014 is in Tampa, FL April 17 - 20.
I registered back in October, maybe early November, and April seemed a long ways away. At the time, Disappear With Me was going through the editing process in preparation for its release in December. I was getting my first Amazon and Barnes and Noble sales results from A Place to Call Their Own.
I can’t believe I’m only two weeks away from going! I’ve met so many of the authors going through Facebook and Twitter. I have a “flight buddy” leaving the same time as I from the Kansas City airport. I have roommate lines up to defray hotel costs (Thomas was going to go, but he can’t get the time off because of the time he needed in January). Arrangements have been made at work.
I have three goals for the conference. The first one is to reach more m/m readers. I can always use more readers. My second goal is to connect with other m/m writers. I have an extensive network of author friends and I can’t wait to meet them and pick their brains. My final goal is to attend some of the writer’s sessions to improve my own writing. And for those of you who follow my blog, I will be getting up plenty early to get my writing and blogging done before most the days’ activities begin.
If you’re a writer, what do you like about conventions?
If you’re a reader, do you like to attend literary conventions and why?
I can’t wait to hear all your answers.

Love People

The more I think, the more I feel that there is nothing more truly artistic than to love people ~ Vincent Van Gogh
There are many different dream journeys out there that one could go after. The most fulfilling seem to be the ones that help the most people. Does your dream journey help to other people? Are you keenly aware of how your success not only depends on other but also helps others?
When I look at my writing history, it always seems I struggle when I forget to write enjoyable stories. When I stress out about characterization, plot, Act I inciting incidents, and other literary nonsense, that’s when it’s difficult to write. When I just focus on letting my characters stories unfold on the page (screen, LOL), that’s when my writing is the best and the easiest.
How is does your dream journey benefit the community? I’d love to hear!

Action has Magic

Whatever you think you can do or believe you can do, begin it. Action has magic, grace, and power in it ~ Johann Wofgang von Goethe
The first quarter of 2014 ends on Monday. Have you started on your 2014 goals yet?

Do You Want it Desperately Enought?

You can have anything you want if you want it desperately enough. You must want it with an exuberance that erupts through the skin and joins the energy that created the world ~ Sheila Graham
Have you started working on your goals for this year yet? If no, do you have a plan in place? Maybe school doesn’t start until the May term? Maybe you have a fourth quarter sales goal that you’re working towards?
But what if, for whatever reason, you’ve given up on your goals? It’s sad, but easy to do. The best things for us are ususally the hardest to do, eating right, working out versus not working out. Going after dream goals is the same way. It’s so easy to stop after one or two days of less than desirable results and shelve any ideas we might have had. Believe me, it took four years to write the first draft of my first novel.
If you want to achieve your goals, you have to put forth the energy that created the world. You have to put yourself out there and make sacrifices. Many of the sacrifices might be temporary. If you have to get up early in the morning to work on your dream journey, or fore go television at night, that’s usually temporary. If you have a family, involve them in the goal, maybe they can take over household chores, temporarily, to help you meet your goal?
Do you want your goals desperately enough in 2014? Are you working on them now?
