Yesterday I got kind of depressed and started to feel like none of this really mattered. Then, I got an idea for a new scene in Beach Knight and immediately I was healed.
Sometimes inspiration is medicine to me, or food even. Mind and body are closer than people think. That which is good for the soul is good for the body. If I didn’t write, if I didn’t seek inspiration and intrigue, it’s possible I would just wilt like a plant without sunlight.
I try my best to fill my life with things that make me happy and feed my soul, things that keep the flames lit. I think many authors are better at long-term survival. They can store nutrients up and travel for miles. I unfortunately need fuel constantly, which is probably why I’m always sharing ideas with friends, watching shows and reading new stories.
Chapter four of Beach Knight is getting to be pretty long. By the time I’ve finished my outline and written all ten chapters, I may actually have a full novel on my hands. If that happens, I might end up having to push my release back to the end of Summer. Plans change and I just have to accept that sometimes.
