Internal musings and thoughts

Amped

I am amped up more than anything this year.  The last few years have been tough trying to survive physically, emotionally, and financially.  I lost someone very close to me which hit me pretty hard.  This caused me to go into a rut that I was having a hard time getting out of.  I decided I had to look at my life differently.
This year needs to be different.  Staying in the same rut isn't helping me accomplish anything.  I have put my life in perspective like never before.  I had goals I wanted to accomplish, but I got bored.  I am no longer bored. 
I am pursuing my creative endeavors with vigor.  I submitted a query letter for my novel.  My photography sites are about to get an upgrade.  I'm writing with enthusiasm so that I finish my manuscripts.  I'm going to submit a query letter for my next children's book. 
Writing has given me an escape from any reality.  Taking the plunge into copywriting so that I can find another income stream has been a good start.  I am completing an online program that I'm half way through with.  My next goal is to pick up clients.  Sending inquiries as I write. 
A new endeavor has opened up doors that I wasn't even thinking of.  Starting a writing group here in my area was something I didn't have on my plate.  I suggested doing that to a connection I made on Facebook.  She suggested I become a founding member with her.  I am now owner of my own writing group. 
I am excited to see where the writing group is heading.  We have a few interested members already.  This writing group was started out of frustration due to the socialization of other local writing groups.  I noticed that it became a coffee and donuts meetup.  The craft of writing was never taken seriously. 
I am mapping out a game plan for this group.  It is very interesting how a new endeavor can put your goals in perspective.  My goals have taken a backseat to a lot of daily activities.  I am learning to balance everything that is on my plate.  Everything seems to be taking shape. 
This year has a lot in store.  I look forward to see what doors will open.  I can't stay on the same path as the previous years.  I will never accomplish anything.  I've got to push forward. 
This year is going to be different.  I want my books to be published.  My photo sites will pick up more clients.  My marketing is going to take a new road.  I'm going to make this work. 
I hope your goals will be reached.  If you need a motivator I'm here.  I will keep you going.  Remember your goals.  Keep the faith.
