Evaluating the ‘Now’

I I last wrote an entry for this blog in September, 2009.  I vowed that I would never let this blog fall down the list of things to do, but I’m ashamed to say that’s exactly what happened… oops. A friend of mine asked me about this blog and it occurred to me that I rather miss having my thoughts circulating around the huge world of the web – so I’m undertaking a second (and hopefully more lasting) vow to keep it going.

Life is very different since 2009 – I’ve finally mastered a writing regime, which runs pretty smoothly most days, although it can definitely do with a bit of tweaking and refining – all in good time.

A friend and I have also decided to take the plunge and start something of our own. I won’t say much more here, but we’re both hoping that this idea will shoot us out of mediocre writing jobs and into something we can really get immersed in, and throw ourselves into 100%. I’m soooo excited about the prospects of what this idea will do for us if it’s a success – which I have no doubt it will be, with enough hard work and pushing beyond what we’ve ever done before. The biggest thing this idea could give us is the very thing we have been chasing ever since we realized we wanted to write for a living – freedom. Freedom to write what we want, to write it however we choose, and to not have anyone looking over our shoulders with a red correction pen in hand.

I have so much to be grateful for at the moment – I catch myself waking up most mornings with a feeling of light-hearted joy, and as impatient as I am for certain improvements in my life to become reality, I try to tell myself every day that I’m lucky to be alive. And I am.
