The 3R'S Every Author Should Know

When talking to interested writers, I am often asked this question:

"Where or how do I begin with writing my story?"

My reply is, "From the beginning!"

When I say, from the beginning, what I actually mean is, "Begin putting your thoughts, pen to paper or voice to recorder, as soon as possible." There are many people inspired to write, walking around with their stories in their heads, but what happens when you have that famous "I should have had a V8 moment where you're plucking yourself upside the head, because you forgot that award winning thought that connected the idea of your plot the day before.

DO NOT take a chance at losing that million dollar

thought for your best seller. Write it down or record it. Not to memory, but to Memorex.

1. REALIZE -There is a beginning, a middle, and an end to your story. However, you don't necessarily have to begin writing your story precisely in that order, meaning, you could start with the end of your story first or start with the middle of your story last, and then the beginning of your story. The bottom line here, is there is no hard or fast rules when your trying to get started. Just get started! Put your pen and pencil to work creating your story, and watch as the creativity falls into sequence!

Realize the value of your story must become valuable to your readers. After all, it is your readers you want to captivate.

Realize, and keep in mind, that you want to convey to your readers a strong emotion, an intimate thought, an innovative idea or a lesson which you've learn that could be valuable to them now or in the future. You want them to hang onto every word, to savor each paragraph, and then hook them! Keep them coming back for more! Realize, it's not all about you!

2. RELEASE - Once you've realized the value in your story, you must release any fear, uncertainty or doubts about releasing it to your potential audience. Get ready to release it to the world!

Release and let go, so you can overcome any obstacles that may get in the way of you embracing your success. That means letting go of, people, places, or things that add no constructive value.

3. RECOVER/RECEIVE - I use these two words interchangeably, because, once you've applied the steps to the first 2 R's, (Realize & Release) you can now begin to recover all that's in store for you, and begin to receive the recognition, the adulation and the rewards that follow.

You deserve to profit from the talent which you have shared with others.

Happy New Beginnings!

Happiness

What is happiness? Are You in pursuit of, happiness? Does happiness appear to be a figment of your imagination? Is happiness obtainable?

How you respond to the questions above may determine where you are in your life right now. Let me say this to all those pessimistic about finding Happiness. What is happiness? Happiness is You! Happiness is within, if you so desire to reach out and touch it. You can Breath it. Let it permeate through you just like the rays from the sun warms your precious body. Allow it to warm your heart and soul. Let it move and groove you to the ecstasy of endless possibilities. Let it put a pep in your step, a glide in your slide, and a smile upon your face, that could last a life time. Happiness is a constant feeling of contentment.
Now that does not mean there aren't of course reasons in life in which to be unhappy about, just look around us. The economy, the mortgage crisis, and the unemployment rate rising. It's becoming hard for many of us to find jobs. Yes! These are real situations that effect us in one way or another. But, that still does not mean we can't be happy in the midst of all this chaos. Does that make since to you ? Well... Though you may not like cigarette smoke, (which is hazardous to our health of course) does that mean you should not like the smoker? OK, perhaps that wasn't the best analogy, (hahaha) but I think you get my point. Although things around us may not be the best, happiness is right here in our midst. Many do not know how to embrace it into our lives or even realize that it is obtainable. I would like to share with you how and why you deserve to be Happy!

Let's begin with why you deserve to be happy, and then move on to, how to find your happiness.

There's Light at the Beginning and End of Your Story

Today is another chance at a New Beginning in my life. I will attempt to embrace this day like never before. First, I give thanks to my guiding light, Jehovah GOD for another day. Then I give thanks to all the wonderful people I've had the pleasure to connect with in the light along the way. One such person is Dawn (HippieDiva). Her spirit and drive to be all that she can be is so refreshing and engaging. I had the pleasure of meeting Dawn about 2 years ago at an event, and I tell ya she was guite the Diva indeed. From one Diva to another, I said to myself, "she got it going on." We chatted, exhanged information, called each other a few times, but the one thing I knew for sure that we had in common was AMBITION, the willingness to succeed at whatever our hearts desired, and the ability to help others that we came in contact with to grasp that same tenacity. It's no wonder I wrote my book, "New Beginnings - Realize, Release, and Recover." There is so much in life we need to realize, and so much that we must release, like fear, doubt anger, confusion, hate, distrust, dishonesty, and so forth, in order to get to the otherside of our new beginnings in life. Once we learn to realize what our story is in life, and realize that we are NOT ALONE in our stories, that everyone has a story to tell, we will then begin to let go of the drama, and begin to move forward. Realizing that not everyone is going to approve of who we are, or what we like, or what we want in our lives. We must also learn to forgive, then we will begin to recover all that's in store for us, and realize that all that we have, is right here before us. Our gifts, talents, joy, happiness and success. Of course I'm not speaking of that kind of success measured by monetary value. Rather i'm speaking of the kind of success that you have achieved which has allowed you to become that individual that has had the ability to stand strong, waver the challenges faced, the pain experienced, the guilt felt, the down times, but yet has pulled yourself up by the boot straps, tighten the belt, and forged ahead irregardless of what others had to say! At the end of the day, It's all about who YOU are, who you want to be, and where you want to go in your quest for new beginnings in your life. I have come to understand more about myself than ever before while exploring and discovering who I am. Not because what others had to say about me, but because of what I had to learn about ME! I've learn that life IS what you make it, and that life is what it's cracked up to be. Especially if you know how to patch those cracks up. I know now that when the going gets "tuff" you better get "tuffer!" Most of all but certainly not least, I realize that there is LIGHT at the Beginning and the End of the tunnel!
