Hello lovelies, The thought came to me as I happily worked on my WIP for the first time in a few days. This is me. This is who I am. This is what makes me happy. And then, just as clearly, the next thought was, but sometimes I lose myself. I lose myself in worry about finishing projects on time. (This has been a theme for me this year. I’ve gotten several big projects, boom, boom, boom, which I love, but it’s also a lot.) I lose myself in fussing about if I’ve gotten my steps in and done my physical therapy exercises. (If I just quit fussing and did them, I’d be done in the amount of time I wasted fussing.) I worry that I’ll get that annoying back pain when I do my steps. (Working on core strengthening.)
Another wonderful post, Charlotte and very relatable.
I was distraught trying to think of a Magical Realism story for my course playing with POV and I brainstormed for ages. Finally it came to me and I wrote something which felt great.
Love the idea of that butterfly effect and how everything affects everything else and we're all connected. I'd love to read that Ray Bradbury story Sound of Thunder. I remember reading some of his work in high school The story about being on a planet where it rained all the time must have had an impact since I still remember that particular story for some reason.
Now I'm all intrigued about Gentleman in Moscow as I've heard so many people mention it.
And thank you for reminding me of Ray Bradbury. My sister and I read a ton of him when we were young and loved him so much. I think he's relatively unknown and unappreciated these days, except for a few quotes that seem to get bandied about.
Please do check out A Gentleman in Moscow! But, as always, I recommend the book first!

Happy Easter, Charlotte!
Happy Easter to you, too, Cathy!
