Three paradoxes of writing life

MC Escher Paradox of being a writerYesterday I spoke at the New Generation Publishing selfpub summit, and the discussions threw up some interesting paradoxes that writers encounter.

1 We must produce, but never rush.
Unless we’re writing only for the satisfaction of filling a document, we need an output mentality. We set schedules, aim to present work to critiquers, editors and readers, build a rack of titles for more market share and £££. But we must also learn our natural pace to give a book the proper time.

Last week Maya Goode took my post about the slow-burn writer and added some thoughts of her own, resolving to be swift with her blogging output, and leisurely about her fiction. (To an extent, this post will include a hopscotch through my archives. If you’ve recently arrived on this blog and these ideas strike a chord, these links are a junction box for further exploring.)

Certainly, some books…

I went walking today. It felt great. I get to greet my neighbors outside. There were no animals in sight. I think that they are taking a break for their activities.

I saw a game right now and the men’s Miami Hurricanes basketball just lost today. It didn’t bother me at all. I hope that they will keep on winning, and they will always be my team, regardless. The Miami Heat has won yesterday from overcoming a huge deficit. I am happy that the Heat won.

I was watching Criminal Minds today and liked the episode. I saw the first episode of The White Queen. It’s a Starz Original series. I liked it and will keep watching all the episodes.

I was practicing driving the other day, but have to keep it up. I feel safe at the wheel when driving. This means that my confidence towards me has improved. I don’t park the car in the driveway that well. I still need to learn much from that.

Well, I am signing-off, and writing-off! Till the next post adventure, my friends! Behave and be safe! ❤ 🙂

Right now I am resting in my room thinking of things I did when I went out. I was also thinking of my writing. It has improved much. I can see the difference. It seems like I am only talking about this every time. I was reading The God Particle. I found out that scientists are still trying to solve the quantum theory. It is still unclear that it is complete. It is not complete yet. This will take many years to come to make it so.

I decided that I will read Gone With The Wind by Margaret Mitchell. It doesn’t hurt to. It is well written I’ve heard. In fact I always admired Margaret Mitchell’s writing. I loved the movie as well. But, she could have written many more novels, and didn’t. This was the only one she wanted to tell. It is in fact one of the greatest novels of all time.

I will watch the Miami Heat game, and will treat it only as a game. They might win or lose. I won’t make a big deal out of it. I am a fair sport.

I want my mind to be blank, because in this way I can think of my novel to write. It is all so messy. It needs to be organized. I can’t write a novel yet, and am still learning how to write. It will take time. So, far my maturity in writing has progressed and improved. I feel more intelligent about it, and am taking the right steps.

I feel like I have knowledge about astronomy, but not enough.

It is raining today. It isn’t stopping. I think that raining outside does make me think about projects I will do in the future. I don’t believe that any artist has a curse, and really don’t believe any of it. I just think of their fame some have bad luck that’s all. No offense. It needs to be handled correctly.

I hope most of you liked the picture of the squirrel with her baby I posted in my blog. I think it is cute and adorable.

Well, I am writing-off, and signing-off! Till the next post adventure, my friends! Take care! Be safe! ❤ 🙂
