Writing What Matters

I've been thinking a lot about why I love (love, love) action with my romance. Why I love a fast pace, huge stakes and seemingly impossible odds.

All that action (including the falling in love bit) leaves me thrilled, excited, energized...like I could take on the world. It leaves me wanting more action in my own life (no, not car chases or explosions!) It leaves me wanting more of what's important.

More inspiring, fun time with my son
More connected time with my husband
More time to write stories about ordinary people take action in the face of fear
More time to craft something that thrills, energizes and inspires someone else to take action
More time for the things that really matter

Notice blogging isn't on the list! So many authors I know hate blogging (and I've been guilty of feeling like that sometimes as well). But I think maybe it's because we've been blogging about the wrong stuff. It is writing after all, and writers should love to write!

Any type of work becomes easier if you love it and it has meaning.

I've decided to blog about the stuff that matters to me (and no surprise, it'll still include action romance). I hope that some of it might matter to you to.

ACTION FOR THE DAY: Make a list of what's important to you
