Focusing

PROMPT 7: Sept 7 – "Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you." -Oprah Winfrey. Write about something that fuels your heart at the moment.

I have two things that are fueling my heart at the moment. My singing group and my writing group.
I belong to a wonderful community choir called ‘Sing your heart out’ On Saturday this week we are performing at our first festival. We have been practicing for weeks and hope we don’t bomb. But you know we don’t sing because we’re especially talented. In fact I’d go as far to say we have very few strong singers in the choir. Mostly we are people who are older and who just have a need to sing, sometimes loudly and little off key, but it doesn’t matter. We have fun and laugh a lot.
My writing group meet every Wednesday morning. We are supportive and gentle in our critiquing. We read together our stories. We have some amazing writers in our group, some published many times. Yet there are other like me who write for the pure joy.
Eight of us are writing a combined novel. We each have written a character and we have a plot. We have bodies which have been closeted away for twenty years and a wild fire. It’s getting quite exciting and I can’t wait to see what happens next🤗
So focusing is what I’ve been doing all week. Focusing on singing my heart out and focusing on writing my character’s dilemma when he finds himself trapped in a firestorm.
