BUSY & Beating the Rays At Last
I'm making myself sit down and finish writing that darned short story submission for Greer's collection. I've been putting it off too long and the deadline is April 30– next Wednesday. I don't have anymore time to hem and haw about it.
Luckily, the point I was stuck on– the climax of the story and the ending– came to me at last. Now its just a matter of writing it down, then polishing it up, doing a final nit-picky edit, and submitting the darned thing onto my public blog. (Another blog.)
I will, however, share what I wrote with everyone who are friends with me either Dreamwidth or Livejournal.
This is a big step, because for so many years I was too ashamed to share any fiction writing. I didn't have a block to writing– I've said that I tend to write very easily if I just sit down and do it. It FLOWS out of me, which is a crazy blessing. But the idea of people judging my storymaking ability and presentation completely stymied me for years. No, decades!
Then I began my dream quest and began confronting my Shadows and Rays. I discovered that often my Rays, which are the voices from our peers and the authorities in our life that we internalize, were often about suppressing my creativity, joy, and pride. My suppressed Shadows needed to be nurtured and encouraged to come out from the Shadows.
Here is where I began to GET where my block was coming from:

Completing this story and actually submitting it to be accepted or rejected is a BIG FREAKING DEAL. If I do it, it means Timothy and Frances live!!
