New Interests!

Covid times. Boring times. Sad times. Isolated times. All true. But, also times when our brains can finally slow to a pace in which we find new outlets for creativity. 2021 is the year of publishing for me. This is not a “Maybe”. Not a “We’ll see.” This is a scheduled event now, in which my calendar holds dates and goals to be reached. As VST said always, “The unaimed arrow never misses.” Target goals are set.

For this year, I plan to finish my trilogy. Lofty goal, but, I have hours in a day to complete this. Much more valuable using time in this manner, rather than losing minutes to mindless television, or worse, wretched news. VST always had a television on. Some kind of noise was needed, even to sleep. I find the sound of silence so refreshing. There’s never a perfectly silent time. Always little noises around coming from life as it happens. I love days when the television remains off.

At this point in life, I have so many blessings. I am relatively young. Attractive, some say. Intelligent. Smart. Inquisitive. Energetic. Creative. Compile a list about the things you are. Every choice must be positive. You will find, you are things all your own! Just ripe for finding a new interest.

I hadn’t given webinars any thought at all, until I received a random email. Each webinar is about an hour long with a professional speaking about a topic specific to publishing. I signed up for all they have to offer. I’ve watched three so far. Amazingly, they aren’t advertisements, as one would expect, but instead, valuable information on self publishing books. One of the authors had a great point. If you are smart enough to write a book, you are also smart enough to publish it online. That is now my affirming statement.

So, think of something to investigate! Something out of the box! New! Courageously bold! Begin by researching it for 15 minutes on the computer. It could be anything from attending free Harvard seminars, to becoming a TED speaker. Learning how to cook French Cuisine. Learning more about the Bible. Training you dog. Just choose one thing and start to investigate.

I knew nothing about blogging when I started. I just did. Found a free site, with a free template, and in very short order, I was up and writing. Healing and happiness have flowed out of my fingers into cyberspace. For that and for you, my readers, I am eternally grateful. I won’t keep you any longer. You need to find that new interest. It will give you a new look on life. So, go. Have fun today!
