Swinging boat

                Last year I posted a blog about finding your missing piece. It came in mind today when I read a comment from Debra ( Thank you!), when I read her kind words it was that pitch moment that awards you work for, what you try to do and it gives a heads up to continue.

I’m kind a newbie in a world of writing mostly because I was scared to admit who I really am. I always looked at other writers and it seems so easy for them- how can they? Writing is a swinging boat. How can they risk everything? I lived in shadow of my fathers business like rising and a whole bunch of people telling me in face that I don’t have the guts or that writing everything down is bullshit or that your writing suck’s (coming from my Latvian teacher in high school). So I played safe and almost convinced me that it is not me! Almost...

Me living abroad and self- discovery have brought me back around to writing. Now I got myself together, I’m putting everything on line just like those other writers. And I don’t have a backup plan. My heart sings when it takes in the words and creates other ones. I’m safe to say – I have come out of this darkness. And now I have the guts to face all my challenges.

These last couple of months when I have really dedicated myself to writing I have discovered a whole new world. I’ve read lots of help articles, blogs, I’m a huge fan of Fundsforwriters.com, (and I just started Hope’s Lowcountry bribe) and with every new peace of reading I take in my writing world.

 get’s bigger and bigger! I discover people who are on the same page as I am. And suddenly loneness becomes a state of mind.

But takings are all about giving back! I will try my best to show the support for others as well.

I have olso got over my "frozen moment" in writing my novel and made it (a little painfully though) trough 1000 words. The thing about these 1000 words is that they feel like I have climbed a mountain. Feels so good! Now when the ice is broken- I cannot wait for the next week together with my characters!:)

By the way those who love Tv series “Criminal minds” would enjoy these short stories by RossGardiner.
