Writing Redirected...

I made a goal to write at least a half hour every day this year - and blogging doesn't count in the half hour. Being the rather strict person that I am, I find it hard to allow myself any flexibility on my goals, but I'm trying not to beat myself up over this one if I miss a day now and then, because I know there will be other days when I write for hours and hours, so it all evens out.

Since I had another goal of having my book ready for final submission by the end of the month, all my writing time has been focused on that project. It's been kind of fun, actually, because the writing block has been about editing, revising, taking polls, crafting intros...fun stuff.

But I'm at a standstill. I'm waiting on some copyright permissions, and while I wait to see if I get them (or if I'll be rewriting to exclude them), I decided to pick up another project that's been marinating over to the side of my mind.

And I think it's about to grow.

I thought the idea was just going to be a chapter of a larger work. But after I started...I have a feeling it's going to grow and take on a life of its own. Typical with me. :)

But as I write...I learn. That's one perk of writing Bible studies! And while I think this is going to stretch me, I'm excited to see what it has in store!
