Renewal

At a certain point it becomes necessary to “recharge the battery.” I’ve reached that point, probably about two weeks ago. I’m in dire need of a respite. I am at the point where everything is seemingly laborious and arduous. A point where nearly every effort takes a concerted amount of energy and focus.

I’ve started investigating possible locations for a short trip. A place that affords me the opportunity to get away from those whom I’ve become close to since my arrival in December. A place that allows me to “unplug” and refocus. An opportunity to recommit. A chance to look at my current plan, and make any modifications needed for the remainder of this year and for 2020. Also, a place to have some quiet time, time to “commune with Him.” A place which affords me the opportunity to develop and begin executing what will be the foundation for the next decade.

From the publishing company, to the next three or four book titles, a possible pen name, and a number of other options which I need to sort out and either eliminate as options or begin to implement. Yes, it’s definitely time to get away for a bit.

Today, Monday, August 19, 2019, I am grateful that:

I’m aware of certain needs. At certain times in my past that’s not been the case. But today I have an awareness/insight into some of my deficiencies. It’s rewarding and frightening at the same time. I’m glad to know they exist and fearful when it becomes necessary to confront then eliminate them to the best of my current ability.

I’ve reached a point where I know I need to reevaluate. I’ve had many plans over the years. Great aspirations and dreams that never came to fruition. That isn’t this. I’ve been actively executing this plan for over two years. It’s moving slower than I expected but it’s moving. I’m making progress. I can see items on the list manifested and I’m keenly aware it’s time to update the list. Not because the plan is flawed but much has been completed and so much more needs to be done.

I’m reaching a level of “conscience competence” with respect to writing and editing. Of the four stages of learning I’m currently at a level where I’m able to do it with concentrated effort. Much progress has been made on my part in learning my chosen craft. I’m happy to have reached this level of development and looking forward to writing and editing effortlessly.
