I see these days a change in the way I write: it reminds more of what Julia Cameron said in The Right to Write: An Invitation and Initiation into the Writing Life about treading paths, writing more flying drafts instead of stopping and editing at the same time.
I still wonder how it can go, because the energy passes, and then if I don’t finish it at the time of writing, I may not want to come back to it later.
Even though today I saw that I did want to come back to a chapter I wrote as a draft a couple of days ago, and edit it up to “Ready, reread :)”.
Reflection is helping me tremendously, I become more aware and realize things better.And when I was thinking about the reflection and the changes I’ve been going through, I realized it’s been a journey. A Hero’s Journey? I’ll see. :)
Counting all around adds tension. :) NaNoWriMo website even calls it my Lifetime Achievement (Lifetime Achievement: 0. Really? :)) I don’t give up and don’t count words, as it closes me the flow.And I think it’s not a journey.. not so much a journey, with the counting. Or at least, not the journey I want to take.
AH sent today a sentence: “When you feel joy, all the circuits are open and the Life Force or God Force can be fully received.”How precise this is here – in my life journey!
It took someone else saying they’re doing the editing these days, then I realized I’ve been waiting for the permission, and I was glad they said they were editing as I could take it as a permission slip for me. So much for being a rebel :)
And then I got to Amazon and saw (accidentally, sure!) this book: Stupid On Purpose: The Art of Ignoring Good Advice, Doing Whatever The Heck You Want, and Actually Enjoying Your Life. How is that for an answeet :)

This month is like an excuse for me, to spend time in writing more, to contribute to it more, to take time in it more. I only want to do it earlier in the day. I’ll see how I can do it. Ah, I’ll see how I align about it! Yes.
P.S. And I realized now, that I’m saying all I want to say, OMG! Dream came true. So quickly, I only said it two days ago.
I’m in, but I’m officially a “rebel” – got this term from the wonderful Laura Roberts’ book I recently accidentally got, A Cheater’s Guide to NaNoWriMo: Tips, Tricks and Hacks for Winning This November (Write Better Books Book 1): I’m subscribed to a newsletter of free book promotions on Amazon, since I had my books submitted there, and this book appeared there.
I didn’t even know at the time of getting this book I want to participate :)
But all the appearing details, all was contributing to this my desire to participate.
Especially Laura’s book, which from a perceivedly rigid notion of pursuing the goal of 50000 words in a month, and writing a novel (and I write non-fiction) – took it to an event I can take on my terms, thinking what’s best for me.
And I defined my goal as finding this place of writing where I can freely say what I have to say. This is the month of Freedom in this sense. :)
And I see that my writing changed already:
I wrote today to the music of my precious Fragrance of Dark Coffee:
(“Godot – The Fragrance Of Dark Coffee – Rain + Fire Ambiance”: video)
Here is a longer version.
And (not “but”, by Bashar!) I also created yesterday a playlist on YouTube, including many clips on Writing – mostly from Abraham-Hicks, very inspiring! You’re welcome to use it:
Liz Gilbert shares her side of the processes, her view of life and what can bring the Big Magic.
I think it’s must-listen for everyone who even a bit lives or strives to live a creative life.

Bashar: “Many times
people confuse the idea of interim step with the goal:
many people don’t need to win the jackpot
to do what they need to do in life.
You’ve just been taught to think you need that.
And therefore you’re relegating your definition of abundance
to something very narrow,
and actually shutting the doors
to which other forms of abundance could come into your life to allow you
to do what you need to do when you need to do it,
which is the only definition of abundance we have.
So by acting on your highest excitement
and staying true to that path,
anything that is truly relevant for you to experience,
whatever the path of least resistance is,
that will allow you to do what you need to do when you need to do it,
will be the forms in which abundance presents itself.
Sometimes that might be winning a jackpot,
but sometimes it might just be walking down the street
and overhearing someone say exactly
what you needed to hear when you needed to hear it.
That’s a jackpot, too.
Loosen up your definitions of what you think abundance is,
and you will see,
how abundant you actually always are.
Does that help?”
Q.: “Yes”
Bashar: “Jackpot!” :)
