e, as a writer your writing always
evolves, always changes, it grows as you do. I had not thought much
about that until once gain my "voice" came back to me over the past few
months. I began to "hear" some of my thoughts about what I felt I needed
to write about, and how to go about the way I wrote. It turns out even
though there is always a reflection of me in the writing, it has changed
with me, just as I have made so many turns, shifts, been over the rocky
juts, into the rushing rapids, found the calm waters, and the ever
winding of my own journey here. Thus my writing does the same. So, to
"change" is always frightening. That means it is also frightening for a
writer to realize their own writing has made changes also. Will we still
"sound" as we did before? Will our own little "inner" voice continue to
be that "musing" of thoughts, feelings and words as it has before? Will
our writing still reach out and touch others as it has before? The
answer is certainly without doubt "Yes"! In fact, as a writer, you not
only keep your "first audience" but you bring in an entire new audience
that loves what you say and do. Fr some here, my 1st poetry book
Ramblings of A Seasoned Soul" - Brush Strokes of Life in Words, was a
first time look at my "heart's work." For others that have experienced
my writing for a long while so they already knew it well. So, my book
stands in the realms of feelings that have surrounded me in still the
future, yet also in the past. My new writing, still all "pieces" of my
own soul, a "stain" of my life now is the same, but also different in
some ways. As the illnesses and life's times have changed me somewhat,
and I have grown and learned from them, my writing reflects those things
also. So, as a writer, now I have come to know that my own "style"
shall always be. But, the "contents", and the how I put some of those
things can sound somewhat different and just be a metamorphic evolution
of my inner essence, that shall also gleam in its own right. So, again I
bid you a wonderful Sunday, and a smile to those who always know just
how to bring brightness to my heart.
(To All who make my life pure when it seems so cluttered with everything that I honestly wished did not clutter it) Thank you!
Be sure to Check out my 1st Published Book! "Ramblings of A Seasoned Soul - Brush Strokes of Life in Words"
Time to update! (Feb 7th, 2013)
Official! Counting down from today 90 days until my "tentative" release date for my 2nd Poetry book to be published. I am "pushing" myself, because there is still so much work to be done on it, and the last weeks have just been nuts. I have worked on it but NOT like I have wanted to at all. Yesterday, it dawned on me, that May is only about 90 DAYS away!!! I have to get going. I am "sticking" with the name for now. "Time Tattered Musings" - Reflections through the Looking-Glass of Life. Unless something else strikes me for the "2nd part of the title", the Time Tattered Musings does remain for sure. Just wanted to get that out, that May is coming fast, and life seems to be too full, too much to do, and not enough energy in each day to accomplish it all. As the days grow closer, I will probably (and for some they shall be grateful) grow quieter here. I hope to get my butt totally engrossed into this book by the end of next week. My Birthday is coming up on Feb. 15th (almost a Valentine Baby), so after that my plans are to put my heart and head, and time, more into working on it, than other things... I am so thrilled and can't wait to share this 2nd on with all of you. It is going to be a great deal different than the 1st poetry book. There is less "poetry" and many more "prose" and pieces of writing in it. So, I hope that it will also be quite a bit thicker. The 1st one is awesome, and honestly I still need to get it out more and get it marketed. That is just another thing that is on the long list... Hugs, Rhia
