So sorry not to have posted for a while, more to the point, not to have let you know that I wouldn’t be posting for a while. Two reasons, one I threw my toys out of the pram because …, and the other that we went away a lot.
In the past we’ve had some fabulous holidays, but I have always struggled with anxiety. The manifestation of which is feeling sick and needing to be close to a bathroom, but after much counselling and prayer I have been able to travel without the usual horrible side effects. It has been fantastic. So for the first time in sixty odd years, I feel as if I have had a proper holiday. Or rather that I have got the hang of being on holiday. Such joy.
I’ve also reached a bit of a crossroads wrt writing. Giving up and retiring gracefully is not an option, I have had to do some editing because I got so twitchy. But I am really unsure as to how to proceed with the next part of my writing life. Each time I try and decide on a plan, I feel God say wait! Of course it might be my inbred laziness, or my general hopefulness, that something will happen without me having to do much about it. (I know, I can hear all those who write, groan, because very rarely does anything happen within the industry without some blood, sweat and tears.)
We write because if we don’t we go a bit screwy. And I think there are 3 possible options going ahead. But with God, there will be a fourth, or even a fifth option. So, I will wait and trust.
Lovely to hear your news. I’m so glad that you have enjoyed your recent holiday. I’m sure the break will have done you alot of good. Hope it has given you the inspiration you needed with your writing. Waiting in anticipation for your next book to be released; no pressure.
