Working on the fourth draft of my manuscript brought up a lot of frustration. At first I felt like deleting one word, then one sentence, then paragraphs until the whole project felt futile. Instead of deleting the entire 30 years of effort, and falling silent, I expressed myself.
In my private journal writing, I let it all out. I returned to the freedom of expression without rules or points of view. I reconnected with my original impulse. I may never publish beyond here, yet I may satisfy my 7 year old self’s yearning to write and encourage others to do the same.
Without rules what might you like to express? What would satisfy your inner 7 year old self’s yearning? Ki to Happiness refuses to delete her truth, her passions or her responsibility to realize her dreams.
