Decisions, decisions. Oh what to do? We have all been in this position right? You may have reached a crossroads, have options in front of you and you are left scratching your head; trying not to get splinters. Which path do you take? Do you simply flip a coin? Leave it to fate. Or are you more sensible? Research. That’s the way to go. You start searching for information to help make that decision. What if that makes it worse?
You find yourself with information overload. Trapped in that revolving door of decision making. Abort! Abort! You now have a bigger pile of what if’s than you started with. Sure having the relevant information is crucial to make the right choice but sometimes you can overcomplicate it. We have been given information for our next options for one clinical department. However one of those is dependant on test results. For now I am shelving that. I’m not going to worry about it just yet as we have another appointment first that I want to focus on. My husband has looked at the leaflets. No doubt he will read them again, probably a few times before I do. Right now I do not want to add anymore information to the storage section of my grey matter. Its not feeling receptive.
Personally I am finding myself in the which path to take position. I have reached the point with my big writing project that I have printed and had my last read through. For me now at this moment I have nothing more to add. I will shelve it and revisit in a couple of months. A few chapters have been critiqued and the feedback is all good. I am for once actually at the moment really surprised at how well it has come out. I’ll go as far as to say I am happy with it. Shocker!! That will no doubt change when I come to cross the next bridge.
To publish or not publish that is the question. If I do which route do I take? Look for an agent or self publish. I have no idea about any of this. I have looked into it a couple of times but this female is very green! I am floundering in unchartered waters. Desperate at this point for someone to throw me a lifeline. Help a girl out. I need advice. I will admit it is so overwhelming. That is why I am taking a step back. Slow and steady decision making is required. Rome was not built in a day. This project has been decades in the making so what is a few more months.
Is this where I should admit I am still writing? I have caught the bug. There are two more works in progress. One will never, ever see the light of day. It is too raw. Not badly written if that is what you are thinking. Perhaps raw is the wrong word to use. Personal. It is me to the bone. I’m not sure I will ever want that out there but it is proving good for the soul. Laptop therapy. I’d recommend it. The other is tales of our adventures. Heck I have even started a romance but that is not getting much attention at present. I should be working on stock as the year is flying but the pull of the keyboard is louder than the call of the wool. That is something I never thought I would say.
So while I work on those I am hoping to get a burst of inspiration for a title and cover design. I am as artistic as a breeze block so there I may need assistance. All the articles I have read say these are just as important as the contents. No pressure then! The style of the others are the same as the first so should I link them as a series? See what I mean? There are so many questions. I am going to keep my fingers crossed that I have some kind of sign. A fairy godmother of the literary world would be nice. I will settle for a few suggestions; clean if you don’t mind. However until then I will make a list and see what grabs my fancy. This might take a while E x
