Life’s A Whirl
Posted in Writing Life on 06/21/2006 07:51 am by Julia MozingoThis week has started in a whirl. I’m spinning, meeting myself coming and going, not to mention dog paddling with all the new experiences life brings as a writer — like blogging.
Monday one of my best friends — Di — and I went to lunch and then spent the afternoon planning an upcoming Plotting Party for one of our writing groups. You know who you are. I’m excited!
Tuesday we went to lunch again — wow! lunch with a friend two days in a row — Iife doesn’t get any better than this! Afterward we visited some of the local nurseries — garden type, planning little getaways of our own as close as our own backyard patios to pamper our writing muses.
Oh, yes! Life does get better. Tuesday evening my other best friend — Burna — popped to town, so we talked writing business for a while then twirled off for dinner. From there I barely had time enough to turn around and head straight to writing critique meeting.
Today, Wednesday, starts with a couple of spins and a twirl to the local day spa for a massage. Thursday I’ll go teach a writing friend a couple of new tricks on her computer and what I’ve learned about how to blog. Whew! Life’s a whirl.
Life is good! Life as a writer is also tough, I tell you. You may not believe me, but I still have to “make” time to sit down and type or handwrite words on the page one word at a time. Yeah, I haven’t yet learned/mastered how to type or handwrite words concurrently. To be a writer, one must write. So I’ll keep spinning and twirling. Life is all about balance even if life is a whirl! (-:
