Recently a question 'Why do you want to write this story?' was asked regarding keeping one's writing on track.
Why write? The subject interests me, and I am prepared to do the research to ensure accuracy. However, it's more than just interesst but this answer will suffice for the present. For me, the concept of 'on track' is the intriguing part of the discussion.
It's not so much keeping my writing on track as utilising the opportunities that arise which will enhance the final writing project. I'll give a couple of examples. Writing my mother's story deciding whether it is more akin to the style of a novel or purely factual and I received an invitation to interview my mother for the company Boral. Mamma was their first female accountant in 1949 and the company celebrated its 70th anniversary in 2016. So, to cut a long story short, my article on Mamma was published in December. Straying from writing the story - yes, but that section of her life in the story will be much richer because of the interview for Boral.
The second writing project is of transformation and chronic pain - and what writing style is satisfying to me and engaging for the reader? At a crucial time of decision making (early 2015) I was offered and accepted writing a column in a magazine writing on that very subject! A book perhaps from that??? Stay tuned...

I'll leave you with this parting thought - do you see procrastination, diversions as a hindrance or do you recognise the opportunities that these might create?

Wishing you all the best for the festive season, Christmas, Hanukkah, and the many festivals that are celebrated at this time of year. Thank you for your interest and support over 2016. Good health and happiness for 2017. Safe travelling. Blessings Suzanne

Listening to Marcia Wieder’s DreamSteps – The Power of Dreaming (from the Dreamsteps video series), Marcia suggests writing down one dream that’s really important to you. If time and money were not issues, if you had the support of the people around you, and – most importantly – if you truly believed in yourself, what would you do? Where would you go, what would you create, what would you change?

My dream is to: Take my books to the world.

This is not all about being a great author. Instead, by way of explanation I’ll offer an example.
In the past when I demonstrated tai chi two types of compliments would flow my way.
1. Your tai chi looks so good. (my response “thank you I am glad that you enjoyed watching” or similar).

More importantly though
2. Your tai chi made me feel so relaxed/ calm/ forget my troubles for a time etc etc. (I smile no words necessary, the person is obviously still in that lovely space)

This is my job done – allowing people to feel the possibilities for themselves. This is what my dream is for taking my books to the world.
What’s your dream?
