It's quite the contrary actually. True, I haven't really been blogging about my writing pursuits, or blogging at all, but it doesn't mean I haven't still been working towards my goals.
Okay so when I started this blog almost two years ago (yikes!), I said I'd finish all three books of my trilogy in one year. So I'm a little behind, but not much. I've finished two out of three books and have a pretty good outline of the third. That's not bad, right?
What have I been doing (writing wise) in the meantime? I've been polishing off Book One and getting ready to send the sucker out! I have a timeline for this that I'm sticking to, because really, at this point, I feel I have no other choice.
The good news? I can feel with all my revisions, and with the help of my very talented author aunt Carolyn Abraham, that Book One is getting better with each day. I'm getting excited thinking about the prospect of other people reading this and getting their feedback.
The bad news? Well, there isn't any really. I'm just trucking away, and in the meantime, I've been doing LOADS of other things this summer.
After Tom's broken neck incident, and my broken toe incident, we took some time to heal. Then we had visitors! Tom's parents just left after a great visit. We also had a beautiful beach weekend with them in San Clemente. This was our beach.
Now I've got just a few weeks of quiet until my mom and aunt come to visit for 10 days, which I can't wait for! I love LA, but I miss home, especially during fall. Autumn is my favorite season and in LA we only get a slight Autumn. There's nothing like that brisk fresh air and the falling leaves that makes you excited for change...even when it is the coming winter.
I've been teaching a bit of prenatal yoga as well lately after just finishing my prenatal teacher training at Silver Lake Yoga, which was so awesome. I met such a great group of girls and learned so much. There's more of a demand for prenatal yoga because it's specialized so getting a sub job here and there has been easier. Plus I love pregnant mamas. Who better to connect with and teach than fabulous women, growing fabulous humans inside them?
You know I can't believe this has been my life in LA for almost two years...writing, yoga, Tom and a little bit of freelance work on the side. I'm not going to lie and tell you that I'm not feeling an itch for the next stage though.
By next stage I mean, a new phase of my life where I can bring in a little bit more money, hopefully from writing, or with doing something I love. I'm not the kind of girl to put all my eggs in one basket and I know life has a very special way of working itself out, that I may not understand as its doing the working. So I have faith. I put my trust in the process. And in the meantime I work from my heart.
When it becomes clear to me that I need to take action in one way or another, I will. Until that time, I'm on the path. And I'm staying open.
