“Inspiration usually comes during work, rather than before it.” -Madeline L’Engle (author of A Wrinkle in Time).
I created this mock cover from a photo I took of our backyard but I didn’t use my pen name. I am not ready to unveil it. The title is working only, but the inspiration comes from the area I live in and from Rob’s work.
I never wonder if I was meant to be exactly where I am or if I could have written as I am had my life not taken the many different turns that is has over the last decade. I don’t wonder because I know that I would not be writing if they had not. Oh, maybe little things. Possibly professional papers even. But the fiction would never have developed to the point where it is and sometimes it is so good that it even impresses me.
I am about 130 or so posts from 1000 I realized the other day. A 1000 posts is a lot of blogging. I am toying with the idea of hanging it up when I hit it and coming back in another form. What would depend on where I am at professionally and personally, but I feel a change coming.
In the meantime, where I am, what I read and some of you, gentle readers, continue to inspire me.
Maria Schneider wrote a couple of pieces not long ago about how crucial it is to have the support of loved ones when one is pursuing a dream, in her case the formation of her writing blog. I often write about Rob and his faith in me as a writer and his unwavering support which predates our romantic relationship even.
I wouldn’t have accomplished what I have in the last year had it not been for Rob, and though I spend a great deal of time writing about him and fashioning his virtual image in the constellation of the web like a Greek god in the heavens, I still feel remiss.
Thanks, baby.
