Capricorn Tales

Making a choice can be easier than you think, but sometimes we hold on to certain ways of thinking, because it is what we are used to, what has become the 'norm', if you will.  Now, imagine you can make a choice and make it stick. It's possible, you just have to believe it is possible.    Life isn't always what you expect it to be, but it can be.  I thought by now I would be a 'paid' writer, but instead I am still working in an office and blogging, however, while I work on my stories, I have made a conscious choice to have peace in my heart about where I am at.  Since it is 'Back to the Future' month, I will pull a name from the movie.   I have always used this term when referring to my writing, I have what I call "George McFly" Syndrome, in other words, I love to write, but I am worried people won't like what I write.  That being said, I made choice to stop worrying about what others think and start pursuing the things that ma...

  As I sit here typing this blog, my mind can't stop racing through the details of my new story.  It feels good to find that passion again and I have a feeling this one will lead to the ones I have had in my mind and have written a million different time, for almost 20 years.  A story that has continually morphed, up until ten years ago, when the idea was firmly locked in place.  This one just happens to be a branch-ling (new word!? maybe?) from that story, but I think it will help me figure out where I am going.   Sometimes writing can be my addiction.  Seriously, instead of working I would rather be writing and truth be told, I might find myself mentally focusing on something other than work, but I can't help it. It's my passion and one day I hope to be good enough to be successful at it.    I have signed up for another online writing course and I think this one might do the trick....

The last few days have been anything, but normal for me.  I have been running in circles trying to make my life happen, without giving any thought to what I was doing to myself.  How would I end up, would I truly be happy, would I even care?  I was doing it, because I thought the end result was what I wanted, but truly, is it?  Yes.  In the long run, yes, but I had to overcome the first obstacle...me. I know the quest seems vague and I am sorry, but it will have to remain that way.  The journey however, not so much.  Have you ever wanted something so much in your life that you could feel it? You could smell it?  You could almost breathe it?  That's how I have been.  I have dreamt it.  I have felt it and I have touched it.  At this point you probably think I am a whackadoodle and off my rocker, but if you know me, you realize that I am not (shoosh my fellow sassypants pals. lol).  As of late, I have tried to live...
