Last we spoke, I explained how I was “blocked” in writers terms.  I have been having a heck of a time getting my usually over-active imagination down on paper.  I tried to just muscle through it the way I do everything else, but didn’t have much luck.  I forced myself to sit down in front of this computer a few times and re-read my outline, re-read what I’ve already written and try to get the wheels turning again.  What I realized this week is that I have a great many things on my mind causing a “thought pile-up” in my head.  The company I work for was sold this week which brings a lot of uncertainty to the future.  I’m newly married and feel like I’ve been letting the stresses of my work life get in the way of my life life.  That one ends today.  I have also, finally, been able to get back out into the water surfing and paddling again after recovering from a broken rib.  It’s a lot of stuff to be dealing with.  I’ve been so “work focused” that I realized I need to go through the pile-up and clean it up, give it some organization.  I’ve gone ahead and started a new project that I plan to turn very quickly.  It will be a personal, business, career self-help style book similar to “Can’t Sell, Can Sell” I wrote a year or so ago.  I really write these things for myself, as strange as that may sound, but if they wind up helping someone else along the way, well that’s great.  I guess my way of fighting the stresses of my work life is to grab a hold of them and make them work for me, not against me any longer.  I looked into the mirror and we’ve decided that we know what to fix so there is truly no time like the present.  I need to get my but back on my bicycle.
