It wasn't my first novel, but I think of it as a turning point in my writing ability.

]]> Comment on Why I won’t tell you my New Year’s resolution by Eric Mayer http://spiritblooms.gaiastream.com/2011/12/29/why-i-wont-tell-you-my-new-years-resolution/comment-page-1/#comment-5553 Eric Mayer Fri, 30 Dec 2011 02:11:42 +0000 http://spiritblooms.gaiastream.com/?p=482#comment-5553 I agree entirely that it is best not to tell anyone your resolutions/goals. In fact, I have found that even telling myself seems to derail me, so I just don't make resolutions. If I did, one resolution. I might make would be to blog more regularly but I won't say anything about blogging more and neither should you. Say anything. The same principle applies to writing. Nothing kills a writing project more quickly than talking about it until it's finished or irrevocably close to being finished. At least that has been my experience. Once I let my idea out into public, however crudely, to however small an audience, I feel like the story has already been told and hence a lot of the incentive to finish it properly vanishes. So have a great new year, and good luck with your goals, and come back and brag about having reached them all this time next year. But don't stay away all year either. Good to hear from you again!

It skips over the logical steps and paths that our mental processes usually take, and arrives at an answer anyway, sometimes a surprising answer that is equally surprising in its accuracy." I love this explanation of intuition. I read your article as well. You've taught me so much with your posts on Tarot...thank you. “That’s essentially how intuition works.
