Plot Twist!

I've been down lately and I've done more than my share of bitching about it. Time to put on my big girl panties and get over it. I read a thing on Facebook the other day that said " when something in your life goes wrong yell PLOT TWIST!! and move on".

PLOT TWIST!! I've moving on!

I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. Everyone we meet touches us in some way and there are no mistakes, just chances to learn and improve. I'm ready to fully embrace that and I can't wait to see what is in store for me. No more second guessing or lying around crying woe is me. Balls to the wall, baby!

I'm recommitting myself to working on my book. No more jotting down ideas on post it notes and the backs of old receipts, I will dedicate time to typing it out each night. The perfect idea for it came to me tonight and I am fully inspired. It will never get published if I don't put it out there. I will enter contests, send queries to agents, and write just about anything to get my name out there. No one's going to do it for me.

This entire time I've been searching for my mojo and it's been staring me in the damn face. Writing is my mojo. Making people laugh is my mojo. Holy shit, it's like I'm Dorothy and I just woke up back in Kansas .It makes me want to bitch slap myself for wasting time with the poor, pitiful Pearl act. That wouldn't do any good though and I really don't want to slap myself.

Now that I have had this moment of clarity I am going to lie in bed and read something that always makes inspires me:"Bossypants" by Tina Fey. I hope to one day be as funny a writer as she is. Screw the hoping, I WILL be as funny one day. Maybe more. :)
