In Search of Clarity

Still unclear on the plot of “Barkada.” Still unclear what to write about for “2020 - A Better View.” Still unclear about how to market “Lezur.” About the only thing I have clarity on is I’m supposed to be writing, right now.

Coming up the elevator today the though occurred that when a baseball slugger is in a slump they keep swinging. When a shooter in basketball is in a slump, they keep shooting. I walked away for a couple of days to clear my head and try to find some clarity and the thing that occurs to me is this: KEEP WRITING!

“Write something everyday.” The simple, yet seemingly impossible task Herb challenge me with nearly five years ago is still there. The simple act of writing offers clarity. It offers the ability to find some sort of clarity, although it may not be exactly what I’m looking for, it is still what’s needed.

Although it late in the day, nearly 8p.m. I’m writing.

Today, Monday, August 26, 2019, I am grateful that:

I’m still writing. I watched a documentary on Quincy Jones earlier today and to look at the aggregate of his career and the variety, it’s nearly impossible to phantom working with such vigor.

The thought of “keep writing” occured today. I’ve sat nearly motionless(not writing) for a couple of days. Yet that’s just the opposite of what needs to happen. So I’m glad the thought of baseball(although not my favorite sport) occurred. I have to practice my craft. Up, down, good, bad, or indifferent, I MUST write. It’s literally the only thing I’ve “stuck with.”

I’ve begun to get some insight on my next steps in my journey. I know I’ll form a publishing company. I also know I will most certainly publish under at least one pen name. Lastly, for the moment, I’m certain I’ll make another excursion to another city here. Not really sure which one but IloIlo, Oslob, Bohol all come to the top of the list.

Keep Moving. Be Impactful!
