if wishes had wings, I'd be flyin'

It has been years since writing at such a pace as I am now. I had forgotten what a lonely profession writing can be. My characters are interacting, having new experiences, and talking a lot, and I am lonely when they are not talking, and I'm not busy writing. It's a strange phenomenon, waiting for the company of your characters. I think that's why I've been writing so much.

Today is Wishcasting Wednesday and Jamie Ridler asks: "What do you wish to dare?"

These wishes are so wide open that almost anything can fit into them! I wish to engage life.. that is the first thing that came to my mind. That means leaving my house to do more than go grocery shopping, or for a drs. appointment, or to visit with my mom just occasionally. It's about getting out there... somewhere, anywhere, and engaging people... becoming "part of". I miss people much of the time, miss nature, miss life. Of course, I wasn't always like this, which is why I'm able to write stories.

My niece/god-daughter, is having a baby this month, and I look forward to that new life instilling life in me, as well.

wishcasting wednesday

It's wishcasting wednesday, and I haven't participated in this in quite a while.

Today question is "What do you wish to experience?"
Since I am into this novel writing adventure, that is primarily where my head is at these days.
I wish to experience days of easy writing, followed by diligent and excellent revisions (after November). After that, I wish to experience the joy of having a book published, and becoming a best seller! Heck, I may as well put that out there, right?

expect the unexpected

I've missed the past couple of Wishcasting Wednesdays, so today I'm going to get back into it. Today's question: "What do you wish to invite in?"

This is a difficult one for me. The first thing I thought of was "love", and the second thing, "visitors". Now, except for one dear friend, and an occasional family member, I don't have visitors! And they are not something I foster, either. I am quite the loner. Making "visitors" a wish is very big for me. (Maybe I could narrow it down to visitors to my blog! hehe)
I wish to invite in love, as well. From family and friends, and from "someone special" (like we used to write in high school yearbooks). The love from someone special scares the hell out of me, but I'll take the chance if it comes along again.

So there are my answers to what I wish to invite in. Both answers step far outside my comfort zone, and I am all to aware of the adage, "Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it." But I take the chance of putting out there to the universe.... and I hope I am able to meet the challenge.

wishcasting wednesday

It's Wish Casting Wednesday again. Today's question asks, "What's frivolous treat do you wish for?"


This one is easy! A giant bottle of Chanel No.5! When I wear it, it completes my sense of self. I love it!

"Promise her anything.... but give her Chanel."

wednesday's wish

It's Wish Casting Wednesday again. Today's Wishcasting is asks, "What is your highest self wishing for? What is rumbling in your soul?
".

My higher self wishes for a fully conscious connection to the Earth, and all she has to offer us. My higher self wishes to perform the spiritual rituals and ceremonies that I have been taught over my lifetime. May my higher self always be present in all that I do.
Rumbling in my soul is a wish to connect with people on a soul level, and to understand that people live from their individual souls, which may not always be in keeping with my perspective, but I want to honor each soul's individual perspective.

wednesday's wish

It's Wish Casting Wednesday again. Today's Wishcasting is asks, "what do you wish to connect to".

I wish to connect to the Earth. I am most at home in nature, and it feels like I haven't connected with her in too long. Whether it is upstate traisping through the woods, or just a walk through a local park, I wish to connect to her again.

I wish to connect to an old friend who has been estranged from me for a couple of years. Life is just too short.

I wish to connect to the camera I just bought (it should be delivered by tomorrow), so that it becomes a second pair of eyes. :)

Wishcasting Wednesday

In Jamie Ridler's blog there is wish casting wednesday. Today's Wishcasting is about "what do you wish to read".

I wish to read my own writing ... poetry and fiction, and if I'm drawn to it, even non-fiction. My first love is writing, and I want it to become a stronger part of me, as I've let it go by the wayside for too many years.

On Hybrid J's blog I read about a book by Eric Maisel, called "The Creativity Book: A Year's Worth of Inspiration and Guidance." I wish to read that book, too.
