Zounds! I was doing so well yesterday, working away in my new office, and suddenly the computer gulped down my revisions! For a while there, it looked as though I’d actually lost EVERYTHING, though some of it was saved on other computers. First impulse: have a nervous breakdown. Second impulse: PRAY.
Thank heaven I skipped impulse number one and had a word with the Big Guy instead. A few strokes to the keyboard and the chapters returned as mysteriously as they’d disappeared. But I still have to do the revisions over again–but, as Phyllis A Whitney used to say, “Good things aren’t written, they’re REwritten.” In my experience, that is SO true.
So, in a few minutes, I’ll be going back to “Big Sky Secrets”.
The woodpecker may be nesting elsewhere–she did return a couple of times, but only for a few minutes, as if to say howdy. 🙂
I’ve decided to give away two copies of “Writing Down Your Soul” instead of one; the book is that good. For me, journaling seems to be a very necessary practice, my way of meditating. I don’t write about my day so much as ask questions. I’ve discovered that God ignores “why” questions most of the time, but He almost always replies to the “how” kind. 🙂
Best get back to my story now. As Dad would say, we’re burnin’ daylight!
