Trusting the Process
It is the middle of week two of NaNoWriMo. I have experienced a bit of that block that 'they' say can come in week two. But I have been pushing through. And there are elements in my story that are painful. But I am also grateful to be exploring them. Because I had asked for healing. And I feel that this is part of that. And when I'm in flow, coming back to the real world is a bit hard. And I'm left with so much of my characters. But this is how it should be. I have to trust the process. I have to trust that this is God ordained. And I am grateful that I am not going it alone. And I am grateful that He meets me where I am.

It has been a goal of mine to participate in this project. I feel right now our lives are so chaotic with all the lessons we have that take us out of the house, I would not have the time to devote to daily writing. I hope you work through your block and your creative energy carries you through.
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up with Three Thinking Mothers! I am participating in NaNoWriMo too and I have to say, I started out really excited about the whole thing and the last few days it's like drudgery! I think it's like the mid-week hump...I keep thinking, "Whose idea was it to do this the month of Thanksgiving? The month before Christmas?" But then I realize that it is important to find time for ourselves to get into our own heads a little this time of year!
ReplyDeleteGood luck! I can't wait to hear more about your progress!
Theresa, I've wondered that, too! Why not June? :)
ReplyDeleteI am happy to read you keep going, even if it's painful sometime and you feel you carry much with you.
ReplyDeleteWishing you all the best with the project Nicole, it's definitely a challenge but I am sure it will take you somewhere.
Take care.
Jessica, The creative energy (God)did carry me through. And just a side note: My main character's name is Jess.:)
