Life's Funny That Way

Turning the corner

I think I'm turning the corner with my writing.  I've been stagnant for too long.  It's been months since I've written any fiction.  But the other day I queried a publisher about one of my manuscripts.  It didn't take long until I had a response... and they asked me to submit it! 

Since then it seems as though I've "had more time" to write.  Obviously, if nothing else has changed in my life, I don't "have" more time, but I'm making more time. 

I think I learned a lesson from that... I won't ever "have time" to do anything unless I "make time" to do it.  Every year for the last five years I've written a novel in a month during NaNoWriMo - but I don't "have time" for the other eleven months of the year to write more than a story or two?  Interesting.  I guess I can't say, anymore that I don't "have time".  It could be argued that I don't have motivation, I suppose... but "I don't have time"?  I think I've debunked that myth, at least in my own case.
