SuperFunHappyChick: I Am Everything I Need

I Am Everything I Need

I wonder how many people will be screaming tomorrow morning that they couldn't get their promised blog up this evening due to technical problems with Blogger. I wonder how long Blogger has been out. I can hear my Stepmom's voice, "Well, that's what you get for waiting until late." Quick, allow me to get the point of what I really wanted to say this evening, before Blogger tanks again.

Sometimes, people just need to remember they have choices. Legitimate choices. It also helps to have a clearer picture of the probable consequences of those decisions. I had a long conversation with the new Acquisitions Editor at Avalon. She helped me to realize that I have viable options. A) Do I continue to do the book with another deadline extension? or B) Do I resign from the project this month, giving them as much time as possible to find a new author?
Those of you who know me and my situation, I would love your opinions and input. If there are any of you out there reading who don't know me from Eve and have no clue, I'd love for you to chime in as well, either with a toss of the coin, or a gut call from your intution. Book or no book? My thoughts today are as clear as this photo, which, if you're wondering, is of fall leaves on a sunny day, way the hell out of focus.

In many situations, as simple as "Did I leave the stove on?" to a momentary flash of "I should put the dog on her leash now or she will run into the street and get hit by a car.", I have only had regrets when I had a gut instinct and did not follow it. Was the stove on everytime? No, but I moved forward with greater confidence because I honored my gut feeling. If you can find the clarity to go woth your gut, that's the best advice I can give.

Saw you by way of the NaPoBloMo randomizer. Good luck!

About Me

Name: SuperFunHappyChick

Location: Seattle, Washington

I believe that: There is no normal; The pursuit of joy, 100% of the time, for yourself and others, is worthy of a lifetime; We need to act responsibly now to protect our planet; Every story should have an element of hope; Chocolate is the food of the gods; There are many paths to divinity; I am a hopeless, unrepentant spaz; I feel the world and beings in it more deeply, intensely, and immediately than most people; I am lucky and I am a survivor; A traumatic life does not a victim make; Fate is a guiding force we must listen to and reckon with; We are not alone in the universe; Beauty and hilarity are everywhere you look. All photos on this site are copyrighted and were taken by me with my Nikon D50 digital SLR unless otherwise noted.
