I have a couple of writing projects lined up for my local newspaper. Off to do an interview this afternoon and will also set one up for next week. Those 2 projects will give me something to focus on as far as writing goes. I also have a deadline for a column in the chamber newsletter coming up next week.....and I have no idea what to write. Uhg.

Does anyone else feel like they have no idea which way they should be going.....but not really content where they are? Or maybe I should have some sort of plan? Goals? But I don't know what it all should be.

I'm feeling like I hit the mark by total chance when I was given some opportunities to write. I'm doing something now that I never really even knew I wanted to do.....and love it. It's like, when I was busy trying to move forward with my own plans in life, I accidentally stumbled into writing something that led to writing something else....and here I am writing.

But after figuring out what my income was from last year.....it suddenly didn't seem like I was where I wanted to be financially for the amount of mental energy I put into it. So I guess I feel like I'm not really doing what I should be doing.

I know that isn't really true. Because writing is just who I am. It's what I do. I should feel really lucky that someone actually does want to pay me for it. What kind of un-grateful person am I?

Maybe I do have some idea of a direction I could take. But I think.....I know.....that I am scared to death to do it. And what if this idea isn't really the path God wants me on? Or what if it is but I convince myself that it isn't?

If for some reason you were bored enough today to read all the way through this.....I just want to say "thank you" for being my therapy session for today. And if you pray....would you pray for me? Perhaps for some clarity.
