So here I am writing again with purpose. So many stories upon my heart and not enough time for all of them. But two or three are rising to the top. A novel, a memoir, a nonfiction PB. I honestly don't know whether I can tackle all three at once, but I've been collecting and organizing my research. Then there are the numerous polished stories that I've not sent out--researching publishers takes time too. I remember when I first started writing, how I devoted one writing session per week to researching magazines and sending out my stories. It made for excellent balance for 10-20% of my writing time devoted to the business side of things.
But right now, I have music to practice. So after I hit post, I'll be singing for the rest of the evening.

How about one at a time? The very use of the word "tackling" could use a shift, like "addressing" or "immersing"-- for a gentler approach to self
Oh, Mirka, I like your gentler approach. Thank you. It makes me question why I'm always tackling or wrestling with myself?
This quote reminds me of the gift of the Sacrament of Reconciliation. We can wipe away our past faults and move forward on the path to heaven.
Carol, so true! But I wish that some of the consequences of sin would be wiped away as well. Time lost is lost forever.
