Two sentence focus
|
The life of a writer is filled with constant stories knocking at the door to be awakened, justified, and heard. They are not all good. They are not all wanted. They are all there nonetheless. How are you doing with the story of you? Are you deep in the details of moving from point A to point Z? Are you making time to simply be still?
Here are a few examples of my two-sentence attempts from the first ten scenes of fiction book # two: The way of water destroys and nourishes in equal measure. A native child now grown, the water of Charleston’s Lowcountry runs through my veins. We both give each other a half-hearted hug and laugh. The memories, all the things we did in the past, fast forward to the present day, competing in a movie mix flashback scene. Silhouettes line up against the ombre sky as icons of tradition, haughty and determined, push away from contemporary glass high rises. Steeples scattered like sentinels protect and disguise in equal measure as the city dissolves into the nighttime darkness. The cra-ack of the bat as the ball hits in the sweet spot, the crowd noise helps it sail over the fence as the “da da da” organ serenade officially signals the first homer of the game. Share some of your two-sentence times with me. How can I pray for you this week?

Sometimes, I can be the no-way-not-doing-this woman. What about you? Thank you for trying my poll last week even with a typo in the most clicked response. You all are the best encouragers! By the time I saw the error, the email was sent too far to correct. Accepting my mistakes is still hard for me....
What do you have? What do you need? What do you want? Is it time to value or lo let loose? Thinking about what you must do, what you should do, and what you could do can be a daunting task. I am always somewhere between those three options. When I focus on what I could do more than what I must do, I can allow myself room to dream, to be a beginner, and to try something different. What about you? How are you managing your time and holding on to hope? You matter. Helping you grow your faith
Do you ever feel like what is the point of starting something if you can’t finish it? Are you focused on the big, enormous outcome instead of the little progress? Taking a bite of the elephant is the only way to make progress. I have been pleasantly surprised lately to the point of celebrating the small steps I can make. I have also realized that time can be a friend instead of a robber and enemy. This week has been consistent for me with my revision and marketing focus. I now have a writing...
