Yippee

Tomorrow I will begin the first draft of the new Spiral Effect. I'm excited. Yes, that's right. I'm excited to write.
Write write write
Write until my fingers bleed
Write write write
Write until my eyes implode.
Or until I get sleepy.

Bounce those eyebrows

I'm praying and tinkering and creating and flowing like a beast master. Yes sir and madame. Feeling good and taking care of business. Been seeing a counselor. Made some realizations. Haven't felt this good in a long time. Let me tell you, years. Like, 7. Maybe more.

Outstanding.

Made some headway on the third installment of the Spiral Effect. The Soldier is picking up steam and nearly ready for a first draft. The outline begins to flesh itself out, growing meat on those bones.

Dem bones
dem bones.

Reminds me of Ed. A good friend I rarely see anymore. But what can you do when a state sits between you and a friend? Visits of once a year will due.

Prayers for the world.
Sleep tight.
Good dreams.
Love to all.

Tired

And near exhaustion.
Child Welfare is a physically and mentally draining job. If you didn't know, already. I am sure, however, most could have guessed.
This will not be a problem much longer. I put in my two week notice today. Relief. Joy. Exuberance.
Now, is the time to focus on God's vision for me.
Crazy? Nah.
I must do what I was made to do. And I was made for writing. Telling stories. Crafting tales.
The past few months have been a chaotic mess of me fighting this calling. Don't get my wrong. I love to write. It is an act of worship for me. However, this comfortable life style we find ourselves in the US is something I have grown quite accustomed to. Following God and his vision for us isn't exactly a guarantee of comfort. I accept that now.
Sure, I might get another job. I understand and accept that as a possibility. However, I'm fine with lower pay if it is less demanding.  I need my brain energized to write. The day to day of stumbling through the door in exhaustion has taken its toll.
Even now, I have difficulty maintaining focus and concentration.
I feel I have become redundant.
And this post isn't very long.
I have been tinkering a bit with the 3rd installment of the Spiral Effect. Also been working on a new Memoirs from the Other Realm. Mental stamina being low, I've only been able to put in about 20 to thirty minutes of solid writing.
Better than nothing.
Sure thing.
Well, I'm bloody tired.
Good night world, may the Lord bless your sleep with the Spirit's kiss.
