Conservation of Energy

Hello Folks, any of you who might still be left out there…

You might relate to this block if:

  • You talk to yourself
  • You aspire to be a person who is “organized and gets things done.”

As I was staring at the birds at my feeder this morning and talking to myself, this is what I said:

“Rose,  stop it.  If you use up your eyes on the birds now, your eyes will not work for you when it’s time to write.

Rosie, if you look at the birds and think about them now, you will use up your mind and it won’t work when you are trying to plot out the novel.

Girl, if you work on plotting the novel now, you will surely need a nap. Then you won’t be able to start the new project…the one that was going to make you and the family….lots of money.

Doody Head, if you use your energy to write on your sweet dying blog now, you will not be able to do any of the above—so you might as well go back to bed; remember 40 years of going to work; remember traveling there on snowy, rainy, icy mornings; and then snuggle in and sleep late.

Nighty night.”

  3. There is a reason why you need to watch the birds! Maybe it’s not a novel that needs to be written, but the children’s book you thought you might write. The birds could be your inspiration.

  4. About time you sat down and wrote something. I keep checking for a new chapter on your blog, and nothing. Get to work Rosie, the nice weather is coming and you won’t want to be inside writing but outside with your beloved birds. There is so much you have to say, and so many people who enjoy reading it.
