I have always been a voracious reader. I love to read books, magazines, you name it. I am turning the tides and becoming a rabid want-to-be writer. Why do I keep labeling myself a want-to-be? I AM a writer. I have hit publish on several blog posts. I have submitted several articles for review. Now for one of my firsts, I am going to start not one, but two books. I have two distinct ideas for books and somehow they keep melding into each other. Should I combine them or separate them? I am just not sure. Today’s adventure will be to surrender the ideas and see where the universe takes them. I have one of the books finished to the point of a raw manuscript. I sent out word to two different people to help edit and got no response. Instead of stopping what I was doing and not going forward, I just surrendered. I will alternatively continue to seek out editors and also wait it out and see who comes to me. I have an idea of going to an author's event in Denver next month. I feel like this is what I am supposed to be doing and that this might answer this editing question. Again, surrender to the universe. Why is it so hard to surrender to the universe? I keep having this question come up when I try and do this. Are you supposed to surrender completely or help the process along? If you are to help the process along, what does that look like?
“I surrender this fear or desire. Thank you for taking care of it!”.
I ask you, the reader, to share with me any times in your life where you have just put your hands up and surrendered. How did this work out for you? Any thoughts on answering that universal question of how much should we be helping out?
