A New Project

As part of my recent live writing hour with Beth Kempton, I decided to choose an oracle card from my 'Sacred Destiny' deck and journal about what it had to tell me in response to the question 'What do I need to know with regards to my writing?'

I pulled the 'Fulfillment' card and initially took it to mean that I need to make sure that I feel fulfilled with what I am writing; to make sure I only write from my own heart rather than trying to write like someone else. Good advice.

The little book that came with the cards told me that pulling this card is a good omen for starting a new project. A project is something I have been considering for a while because I want to give my writing some direction rather than journaling about my day and not much else. So this was interesting.

I recently joined Netgalley, a site where you get ebooks free to read in return for an honest review. As an aspiring author myself I thought it would be a good idea to start reviewing the books I read, not only as a benefit to the author but also as a way to help me to digest the books better - it is too easy to read a book then quickly move on to the next, failing to absorb the lessons contained in the first book.

So perhaps reviewing books will be one project that I could begin to explore. I do have a few other ideas but they are so undeveloped in my mind that writing them down might leach the magic away from the mere whisper of a thought! I shall post my book reviews here on the blog as well as on Amazon and Netgalley. Hope you enjoy them!
