 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. |
Kamál (Perfection), 17 Jalál (Glory),), 147 BE - Monday, April 24, 2017 CE "Should the fragrance of Thy praise be shed abroad by any of the divers tongues of the world, out of the East or out of the West, it would, verily, be prized and greatly cherished." Bahá’u’lláh1 This is the second time I've attempted this entry. The first entry had a quote by 'Abdu'l-Baha about anger, after beginning the entry I decided the quote and my response were better suited to the "Blog City ~ Every Blogger's Paradise" The next order of business is posting this week goals to "Weekly Goals" . I did pretty good with last weeks goals, but there were only four of them. Sometimes I have difficulty accomplishing more then four goals. Some weeks I have difficulty accomplish four goals. However, since I need to stretch myself, I'm going to make more then four goals this week.Goals for 4/24/17-4/28/17  Review at least four items each day with at least one item written by a newbie. Write daily poems for "Dew Drop Inn" . Review for "The Earth Day Challenge" . Read at least one article in the series Story of Abraham Write at least one poem for "Prince Musical Writing Challenge Contest" and post it in "Snow Scribbles" . Write a chapter in one interactive story.When I posted my goals this morning, I didn't post the survey goals. I'll wait until next week to do that. The goals for this week are posted and I'm not going to edit the post for just one item. I know there are several survey groups I belong to, but the survey goal is a single item. I did several surveys this afternoon, so I think that will be enough for a while. I still have a couple of survey groups to check, but I can check this this afternoon or this evening. Goals accomplished for the week of 4/24/17-4/28/17.  Review for "The Earth Day Challenge" . Review at least four items each day with at least one item written by a newbie. MondayI'm doing good with my goals. I finished today's poem for "Dew Drop Inn" . I also read four installments of the Story of Abraham. Tomorrow I have about three calls to make to deal with business. After that I can get back to working on line and possibly worrying about the rents.Footnotes |

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.
