A Breakthrough

I finally finished issue 92 of the serial today and I only have seven issues to go (~13,805 words). The best part about it is, I have the next five or so issue already done except for a bit of tweaking as the whole idea for the serial evolved from a short story I wrote a while back.

I hope to get issue 93 drafted out over the weekend. I am so excited. I also sent two parenting essay submissions for consideration in a Parenting Anthology. It would be so nice to get accepted and paid for my writing.

I've also had a breakthrough on a personal note. I never realized how many layers I carried - emotional and mental. Wow, it was a heavy load. To make a long story short, I let them go - to where I don't know and for how long, I cannot tell.

The feeling of rawness and liberation is breaktaking at first and it took awhile to get used to. But despite vulnerability, I never want to shut myself off from those I love again.

Have a great weekend.

I'm glad you had a "breakthrough." I actually learned a lot about myself through someone else's blog the other day. It's amazing how when our eyes are opened about ourselves, it can be life-altering, liberating and decidedly COOL.

Hope the good feeling lasts!

That is great news. I admire you for facing things and dealing with them - so often, it's so much easier just to ignore them and hope they will go away (which they never do...)
