The When is Now
Ever feel a sudden shift in your thinking? Almost as if a switch was flipped? That’s how writing is. You’ll have all these great ideas. Earth shattering, ground moving eureka moments and all you want is to share them. Because people need to know it for goodness’s sakes. But, the minute you start to put pen to paper (or thumb to screen, fingers to keyboard, etc…you get the idea), that inspiration and magical moment – you know, the one that makes you want to change the world- begins to feel more like a day old Pepsi. That’s been left out overnight. In a Dixie cup. What happened? What was once going to be a refreshingly sweet and tantalizing experience of sharing in the topsy turvy roller coaster of life turns out to be, well, meh.
Maybe for you its not writing but it’s something else. Like a big win that didn’t seem so big in the end. Or an event that you worked so much courage up for attending but decided not to go. For me, that challenge has always been writing. And has been since the beginning of my writing career, or the start of 11th grade when I knew I was going to be a writer. I just didn’t know how. Or what to write about. Or when I’d have the time with a demanding career in technology and mom of three nonstop dirty laundry producing machines (plus a husb, 2 dogs, a cat and a guinea pig). To be perfectly honest, I still don’t know the “what”, and I’m anxious of the “how” (so scary) but I strongly believe, and promise to adhere to this, that the “when” is now.
Do or do not. There is no try.
