Reflections


For me, the process of writing an article for publication and all that it entailed, was fun! I actually love to write and have been doing it in some form or another for most of my life. Even the idea of publishing something I wrote was not a foreign idea. It lingered somewhere in the back of my mind, waiting to be fed and watered. I really didn't have to look far for a familiar publication outlet because I am already subscribed to an online site that I enjoy and respect. Interestingly enough, just days before the "Writing for Publication" class started, they were scouting for article submissions and what they call “blog hosting”. I’m not sure if they will publish an article of mine but I do know that it seemed timed just right. I took that to mean that everything has a way of falling into place. Divine timing….I don’t know? We shall see. I feel good about all that I’ve learned and am especially grateful for the new found confidence that this class has fostered in me. I now have tools to help me continue on down this path of writing and publishing. Not to mention many resources and I think I will definitely pursue this more.

Creative Free Writing

I want to start off by saying that even though this is an assignment for school, it feels a lot like journaling to me. So I will just free write for 7 to 10 minutes and express what is on my mind. I feel like "Balance" these days is SO important! I can't even stress it enough, particularly for me in my life. I often feel like there is just not enough time to do all that needs to be done. I am so glad and grateful that I am going to school right now, at this stage in my life, with the knowledge that I have at this moment. However, as a mom of two kids, in her thirties, with work, full time school, a partner, pets,etc; it is a balancing act! The thing about that is......I feel as though I must not be a good balancer. Maybe it's something that comes naturally for some. Women are suppose to be genetically great with multitasking. I can multitask all at one time but am not so good at time management. My longtime partner reminds me all the time. Sometimes my children are unsatisfied, as well. If only I could bilocate myself like I've seen in movies. Then I could be in more than one place at one time and how efficient would that be? I know this juggling act is the plight of many these days, but I can't help but wonder how everyone seems to be pulling it off better than me. Do I really have to buy a planner and start scheduling every minute of my day to effectively fit everything in? Will I resort to using the cliche of "I'll try to pencil you in"?
