The arriving of Marjorie

Marjorie has arrived. Unexpectedly too. Not thought about, not searched for, she just happened.

I have been doing a bit sort out and tidy up of the house after the last patch of renovation work to it, and had got as far as the paperwork, files, and general office and writing type of paraphanelia associated with running a home and being a writer. I need order, and although there was no dreadful chaos apart from on my desk, I do need to get the old box files changed to new ones, properly labelled and with the contents gone through to see what can be thrown out.

And it was as I was looking at the pile of box files on the shelf that my eyes landed on 'The Toddle' file, which are the notes that I made when I walked a long distance pathway in Kent, England, a lot of years ago. And as  I looked at the file on the shelf, with no intent to do anything with the notes other than to possible bin them, the name 'Marjorie' arrived. Ah, so the book, should I write it, will not be in the first person, but will be told through the person of Marjorie. Interesting! Another one of those inspirations from the Universe. I have no problem with book titles because they normally arrive before I write the book, and then I write the book to the title. I did this with 'Psychic Virgin', the first book I wrote, again from inspiration from the Universe. I would have never chosen that title, not having the courage to use is as a title, but I did it, I wrote the book.

Anyway, Marjorie has arrived. It will be interesting as where she will take me.

Bye for now,

Been a long time away.....

I have not been writing much since the last time I posted up a blog here, and just to say that I am still waiting for a clear direction to come in from the Universe, one that seems to be taking age to arrive I must say. Not to worry, there has lots been happening in my life, and my partners, which leads me to think that things are falling in to place, and that new writing will come along when it is meant to.

Meanwhile, I continue on with my Snippets blog, and that keeps me in touch with the writing process. If I do not keep the blog updated at least once a week, then I find the ability to write seems to drizzle away in my head, so that when I do come to write it takes a lot of stops and starts before I can connect with a reasonable flow of words again.

While I wait for the new writing to happen, I have started posting up my first book, 'Psychic Virgin', onto my 'Diary of a Psychic Lady' blog. I am not sure why I need to do this, other than it was the first book I wrote and taught me so very much about how to write, not only in getting the words out of my head, but also the actual process of getting a book self published. Perhaps that is why I have instinctively felt that after several years of not writing, that this should be the one to start off the momentum again. But I am not severely editing it, just copying it straight from the original. It is easing me into the saddle again, which is a blessing, although I have always been nervous about the title of the book, but the title was given to me very clearly from the Universe early one morning, so the title has to be as it is. I do feel nervous, though, because I have now put links to the Diary of a Psychic Lady on the front page of my Snippets blog. I am not sure how my fellow blogging friends on Snippets are going to react to reading about the psychic side of myself. Oh well, time will tell.

I got no further with finding out about ebooks, but feel that ebooks are definitely the way to go. Because there are no publishing costs involved, the books can be sold at a low price, which I think is fair to the reader.

I took all the books I have written so far out of the self publishing arena a couple of years ago. It seemed the right thing to do. I don't know why, it just felt that I had to go silent for a while. But I never gave up hoping that the books would get read, it didn't feel the right time, that's all.

Anyway, my friend, whoever you are........ just needed to connect with this blog again, so I suppose that I am actually starting to write properly again!
