The Year in Review: On the Spot

Year in Review

On the Spot

            It’s time for another confession! I had no idea what I was going to write about this week until about an hour ago.

            I knew I needed to write something for this blog in order to continue my goal of blogging weekly. I also knew that I had picked a topic that may not have multiple ideas to blog about. So, I had an oh crap moment.

            Then, I started to think the few times thru this year when I ran into the same problem. Usually, however, I would still be able to figure out what I wanted to write before the actual day of writing it. November was a little different, as that was a challenge I had given myself. But, today is the first time I really didn’t know what I would write.

            Now, here I am, in the midst of a new blog. I love writing! Excuse the nerd in me!!

            Being able to write this blog right now has done two things for me. It has provided me with a blog topic for today. It has also shown me that I am fully capable of doing what I set out to do.

            I needed that reminder as I am in the midst of an important time in my author life. Being an author is a hard road that does not always entail a lot of external reward. The internal rewards are the biggest and most appreciated. I won’t speak for every author out there, but for me, when I show myself that I can indeed accomplish the next step, I feel as though I have grown a little more.

            Growth is needed in anything you do. How can you move forward successfully in part of your life if are not willing to learn a little more? The author world is forever changing. If I’m to move and change with it, then I have to accept the growth it takes to achieve it.

            And now, I have completed another blog completely on the spot! What have you done recently to help you grow? And if you haven’t done anything, why not!
