Coffee is a big part of my life these days. More accurately, a Biggby part (heh heh heh).
Sorry.
*Ahem* In addition to my book, I’m working on several other time-consuming projects, [Insert shameless plug for my new YouTube channel, Dashing Nerds*] and sometimes faith and a little caffeine is all that gets me through it. Ask my writing group how wired I was at the last meetup!
Although I’m not blogging as much as I would like, I do take the occasional moment to Tweet my progress. Twitter is to writing as Tinder is to dating. Don’t read too much into that.
To be honest, I didn’t want to burden your newsfeed with how much life is beating me into a pulp.
Authors can relate that there is, at times, an agonizing grind where you question every keystroke. I’ve lost count of my revisions.
Maybe I’m not cut out for this.
But then, there are the little moments in coffee shops. Unfolding scenes that invade your schedule and take your routine hostage. They make you laugh. Sometimes, they offer glimpses of grace and hope. God speaks to me in them. He gently reminds me that I love writing, that I love my life.
So Happy Monday to my fellow writers and adventurers. I hope you’ll keep your eyes open for these little moments that inspire you. I’m just reminding you that your life has a story worth telling. Keep going.
This is how it happens sometimes: your story is a plate of spaghetti and you wonder how it became such a mess and how you are ever going to untangle it all. Then one day, you get fed up and put it away to work on something new and shiny. Sometime later, you decide to take out your plate of spaghetti because you miss it. And as you read through it, you feel a spark. Because suddenly it’s not that plate of spaghetti you thought it was. It’s on the right track and it’s pretty damn good. Hang in there 🙂
