Wandering Thoughts of a Writer: #futureplans

Showing posts with label #futureplans. Show all posts

My RV (Aesop) is still waiting to get the parts installed. I was hoping we’d have Aesop by this weekend so we can start the renovation.

Nope.

But to be honest, it’s getting serviced at Kevin’s work, and it’s not a priority. The reason why is because the truckers who bring in their semi-trucks and the farmers who bring in their equipment to be fixed is more important than our RV.

I totally understand.

That’s how they make a living, so the truckers need to be on the road ASAP, as well as the farmers needing to get back in the field to plant their crops.

Yeah, our RV can wait.

We were going to go to Kevin's work this morning and start the renovation, but we didn’t get up early enough—we stayed up late watching Robin Williams’ comedy act—and now it’s too hot to work on it. So maybe tomorrow or Monday.

So that’s where we're at with Aesop. We’re hoping this week to find someone who has a shop with a/c that we can use/rent out to do our renovation. If not, we’ll power through this heat.

Meanwhile, we’ve been working on being a minimalist. We’ve been going through a lot of our stuff and preparing for a huge yard sale in 2 weeks to sell it all. We already took the first step months ago when we went through our kitchen stuff and gave most of it away.

I have to be honest here . . . it feels wonderful to get rid of all the stuff we have that doesn’t serve us or carry some sort of sentimental value in our hearts. We’re looking forward to living a minimalist lifestyle where we’ll be collecting memories instead of stuff. We’re also excited about sharing our journey with the world.

To make things clear, though, I have no judgment regarding people living a contemporary life.

Live the life that makes you happy.

Just because Kevin and I decided to embrace an alternative lifestyle, doesn’t mean we look down on people who don’t.

Do what is right for you.

Tomorrow isn’t promised to us, so make each day count, and create a life that brings you joy, excitement, and growth.

Monday night was not a good one for me. I was having problems with my computer to where I could no longer use it, and then I lost my Wifi signal.

*Sigh*

I handled the situation rather well.

I didn’t stress out.

I didn’t fall prey to allowing myself get into a bad mood.

I kept my cool.

I’ll just call my computer guy tomorrow. He’ll fix it for me.

No probs.

Then the next thing happened.

Something Kevin and I both hate.

Hate is a dark and ugly word, you guys.

I don’t use it freely.

We got into an argument.

It wasn’t good.

We’ve been together for over 24 years, and we’re BFF.

We have a blast together.

We adore each other.

Hell, we still hold hands wherever we go.

We write sweet and loving notes to each other every day.

I know that all relationships go through what we went through last night.

I still hate it, though.

We only got two hours of sleep.

Yeah, last night sucked ass.

However, we spent the whole morning talking, and we got it handled.

We’re all good now.

Tired, but good.

So we spent the morning talking, I got my computer fixed (yay!), we took an hour nap, then made a list of everything we want to do once we start renovating Aesop (RV).

It’s exciting.

Anyway, I wanted to share a little bit of my personal life with you to let you know we all go through some hard times in relationships—even solid relationships like what Kevin and I have.

I’d like to think we’re now stronger because of it.

We learned some useful information about ourselves, and now we can apply it to our lives in a positive manner.

Because that’s what life is all about, right?

Learning.

Growing.

Creating.

And . . .

I’ve been writing the second book to Legends of Deceit since the end of last summer.

Do I have a title name yet?

Nope.

There will be a title after I tackle the first revision.

When will it be out?

I’m hoping this year.

*fingers and piggies crossed*

I’m almost done with the first draft. I would have been done sooner, but I have other things going on in my life that require my attention as well.

Writing a book is a long ass process. I know there are authors who write a book a month or every other month.

I don’t know how they do it.

But I’ve come to the realization every writer is different.

If I were to compare myself to others, I’d be doing myself a disservice.

The only author/writer I should be comparing myself to is myself.

Am I advancing in my craft/art?

Do I love to write?

Am I having fun writing?

So I no longer fret or get all balled up in a knot over how long it takes for me to churn out a novel. The important part is if those three questions are answered with a yes, and that I put out good quality stories for you guys—the readers.

Legends of Deceit is a two book series.
