 Gratitude breaks the spell of Writers Block |
|
Staring at a blank page is like staring into a snowfield. The snow, untouched by civilization and unmarked by living creatures, blinds you for a few minutes, it glistens reflecting subtle shades of pure white and rainbows at odd angles. If you stare at the snow too long, you get lost in the interplay of light and shadow. As the day wears on, you become awestruck at the beauty of the snow's perfection. You marvel at the way an oak tree cast its ebony shadow across the pure white snow. You watch the tree's shadow change, grow and shrink, as Earth turns and the sun moves from morning to evening. If you stand out in the snow too long without moving, you risk snow bite or freezing. If you are fortunate, a red fox will walk across your line of sight. The fox will leave his footprints written in the snowfield. As you watch the fox move, the spell holding you in one spot staring at the snow is broken. You are free to go inside out of the cold and out of danger. I must say, writing 500 words a day isn't difficult, unless I'm attempting to write on a single subject. On Monday, October 28, 2013, I began posting my weekly goals at "Weekly Goals"  . On Tuesday, October 29, 2013 I began keeping track of may accomplished goals in this journal."O SON OF BEING! Bring thyself to account each day ere thou art summoned to a reckoning; for death, unheralded, shall come upon thee and thou shalt be called to give account for thy deeds." Bah'u'll'h The Hidden Words of Bah'u'll'h, Part I.'From the Arabic, #31, page 11 'Heinlein's Rules for Writers Rule One: You Must Write Rule Two: Finish What Your Start Rule Three: You Must Refrain From Rewriting, Except to Editorial Order Rule Four: You Must Put Your Story on the Market Rule Five: You Must Keep it on the Market until it has Sold' Robert A. Heinlein It is enjoined upon every one of you to engage in some form of occupation, such as crafts, trades and the like. We have graciously exalted your engagement in such work to the rank of worship unto God, the True One. Ponder ye in your hearts the grace and the blessings of God and render thanks unto Him at eventide and at dawn. Waste not your time in idleness and sloth. Occupy yourselves with that which profiteth yourselves and others. Thus hath it been decreed in this Tablet from whose horizon the day-star of wisdom and utterance shineth resplendent. Baha'u'llah, Tablets of Baha'u'llah Revealed After the Kitab-i-Aqdas, Pages 21-29: gr 32 I changed the way I did entries in this book several times. Beginning on March 21, 2018 the entries will cover the topics of spiritual, inspirational, and religions. However, the genres it will be under are Women's, Inspirational, and Spiritual with a tag of Religious. |
Fiḍál (Grace), 14 ‘Alá’ (Loftiness), 173 BE - Tuesday, March 14, 2017 CE The internet is slow, I'm having trouble accessing some websites because I get a timed out error. I'm not sure what's going on so I'm waiting on the phone to Cox. I suspect there could be some type of problem because all the reps are busy with other customers. There is definitely something going on because I attempted to log into my Cox inbox and the connection timed out again. I know I shouldn't complain because I still have a connection to writing.com, but I don't know why the Cox website gives me a time out when I attempt to check my e-mail. I also had the same issue when I was doing surveys on the Inbox Dollars website. The surveys would timeout before I even got into the survey. This morning I responded to two blog prompts in "Melting Snow" . The prompts I responded to were from "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" and "Blogging Circle of Friends " . This afternoon I responded to the prompt for "Blog City ~ Every Blogger's Paradise" and posted it in "Welcome to My Life" . I still have a prompt from "Blogging Circle of Friends " for Monday, March 13, I haven't responded to. I think I'll respond to it in "Snow Scribbles" as part of the 44 short stories I didn't complete in 2016. I know it's too late to get credit for the stories, but at least I'll have finished them.Update on the Internet issue. I talk to a Cox internet tech who said there was some sort of issues causing part of the internet to go down. She said just to keep working on those sites I can access and the rest would be up about 9:00 PM tonight. That's fine with me because I don't have to access my Cox inbox or for that matter do any more surveys today. The surveys I didn't get done today I'll attempt to do tomorrow between reviews. Wednesday is the Ides of March which is scheduled for Port Raids. I'll focus on the Port Raids while checking a couple of three survey websites. I'd just as soon not have any more surveys time out on me. I don't mind the Inbox Dollars surveys timing out because as long as I attempt them I'll get spin credit which means I might ear a few cents on some of the spins. |

You kept hope, prayed, and that paid off.
Only bush honeysuckle in bloom. It's not very fragrant. The intoxicating vines bloom later. But we have lilacs... until this heat roasts them.
