Well, this post is not at all what it was going to be today.
I set out to write a meaningful, poignant tale, light enough to laugh and bruised enough to hurt, but I got distracted by the shiny, sparkly dog running around my room, barking; “Squirrel!”
Nah, not really, but I did, with the click of a button, get whisked away to a world where there can be, at times, a little too much information. Perhaps you’ve been there…
It’s a land where lies can be truths and certainties can be deceptions, genuine can be false and fake can seem authentic. There can be endless hope and eternal damnation and all can be ceaselessly damaging.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t have letters following my name or awards in my bio, I don’t have any notable education in writing and I don’t work in a profession relating to my passion and what I hope will eventually become my career.
Yes, it’s easy to fall down the hole and find darkness in place of dreams, tempting to give up and let the bad wolf blow our house down and sometimes irresistible to believe the sky is falling, but the good new is, we have a choice.
Finding the girl that fits the glass slipper or coming back from eating the poisoned apple is not easy, but no one ever said it would be.
It does help though, when we know our unfolding fairy tale is being read.
I’m wondering where that ‘click’ took you today…

Oh, Dianne…to a place that made me face the fact that I’m neither accomplished nor young enough not to care anymore.
I’m a bit of a downer today. 🙂 LOL.

Letters beside names are way overrated. Keep going.

I agree and have no intention of stopping, but the letters/wins/awards and education come into play when trying to form a query letter or bio. I let it get to me today…a moment of weakness!
Thanks for the comment and the encouragement!
