Hi and a warm, supportive "hello, I must be going" to the screen to write. Which brings up the point, ... Question, How can I repeat that feeling of I'm ... "in the mood to write?" Well, the textbook answer is "be on the page," "be at the keyboard." You might have heard this before, from others, from me. It is a very good feeling to have this mastery. It takes the moaning "I am blocked. ... I cannot get in the mood to actually sit and write." Yada, yada, yada. It gets you to the reality-pragmatic perspective of; I am in the mood to write most often when I am writing." What? Yes, chances are better then. Start writing and the mood will follow. It is a rule of the road that it works. What else, if not now, when? Maybe if you wore a boa constrictor around your neck, at a time very New Yorkish, very young and liberating from conforming with your only misspent youth, some other event call it over the horizon, water under the bridge, ... It is a tried and true exercise that works. Like meditating, I am in the mood after I have started. (At this time I like to remember my sitting practice for meditation comes into play in the mindset; "Don't just sit there. Meditate. Don't just sit there. Write! And? And it is such a broad, panacea-mode tool.)


Another reinforcing, support tool is to expect change from when you make a change, however big and yes, definitely small. You can manifest change by changing yourself, however small. That is, id est ... . You have to change your decisions, responsibilityy in your life to make change. And something will feel ... yes. different. And ... different is not wrong. It is different. And it might make the paradigm shift to successes in your lifestyle to allow, make time to write. I struggle with this daily except for my sabbath day of rest and study, no writing. Find your path. You are on the path of the "mountain" you have as a gift to you. How does just a little bit of this sound? "Because of you, the world was created with the mountains and seas. And ashes and dust." And I add "and somewhere in between."


Do recall; small changes, differences made can result and if properly played out, do indeed make big changes. A viewpoint is that if you wake up and see the world is wrong somewhere, that is exactly what you were meant to address with your life. It is advocating and a healthy level of recovery. To change your world. Change your life. Change everything that is free from recovery. Do not go back to what makes you sick. If the people around you are bitter, it is because you got better. (As it goes, "You get better. They get bitter." Embrace it. As a writer, ... as a thinker/planner, ... as someone developing insight and intuition with your life, with your writing life. You have landed. You are finding yourself on, ... on the mountain!!! Congratulations.
