Morning Has Broken...In Upon My Sleep

Cat Steven's Morning Has Broken

  “Morning has broken,” well, not really. Only by the clock. Outside it is still dark and I should still be asleep. But my mind and body are in cahoots against me staying in bed, and so I find myself here, putting this time to some use.

I have submitted the “new and improved” copy of Evangeline’s Miracle to CreateSpace. Another step in this long business of trying to “make it” as an indy published author. Time will tell if going this route will be easier than with selfpublishing.com or not: whether the lesser cost on the front end will be beneficial or not. Building my own road map isn’t easy, is stressful and causes me to question myself all the time.

However I continue to push on through, mainly because I do enjoy the writing process, most of the time. I enjoy the stories selling for sure. But really, I continue because of one person’s belief in me and my abilities. He helps me think of something besides my fear of failure. The thought of making his faith in me worthwhile is a driving factor in trying to pay attention to what the future might hold in a positive way instead of negative.

I hope that soon he will share this “business” with me and not have to go somewhere else to work every day. This is a goal. This I strive toward. This pulls me out of my own issues, allowing me to concentrate on making a mark upon the world in a good way.

I am blessed with good and great friends. I am blessed with good health and a wonderful family. I have to remember that I am blessed at times like these when I feel alone in my bones.

Now I’ll go and ponder upon the Seventh Man and see if he will allow me to find the spark that’s missing. I wish you all a good weekend and hope you have many opportunities to tell someone you love and appreciate them: to give lots of people hugs and be hugged in return.
