The Subtle Art of Patience

It’s odd, the way my novel is writing itself. I write in short bursts, for what reason, I couldn’t tell you.

I develop a beautiful flow, find a sweet new piece of the puzzle to slot into place. Then, the door closes. I do not know why it’s working this way, but I’m learning to trust that this is the way this novel wishes to be born.

I am resisting a little.

A big part of me gets cross. Just keep writing. Now. Today, this minute: push through the stop sign and write some more.

But I can’t.

I write in short sharp bursts.

The story comes in short sharp bursts.

It’s a lesson in waiting.

It’s a lesson in the subtle art of patience.

The Darling Blog Of May

Darling Day 3. Beautiful.

Darling is a beautiful word.

It sounds like a hummingbird bird, hovering sweetly in her field.

It feels like a little bell that rings away the muck of a muddy day.

There are words that I know.

And there are words that I love.

Darling is a word that I love.

Because what lives within its delicate walls is a treasure greater than the word itself.

An essence.

A code.

A little piece of wonderland.

Beautiful and true.

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

My beautiful bloggy friends, I’m moving things around a little bit in my world, as most of you are already painfully aware.

I am both sorry that you’ve all been the recipients of such upheaval, and grateful I’ve given you a fairly accurate reflection of a real and true, winding life.

I’ve been deleting old programs, both online and within the matrix of me that no longer resonate, and this morning I realised I’d been neglecting my bloglovin’ account: my first blog, ‘All the Sunny Mummy Days,’ was linked there for those outside of WordPress to find.

I truly believe that we find the words, and people, we need to find in this world- exactly where and when we need to find them.

And so I’m linking this blog over there, too, so my words have a bit of a central place to live, I suppose you might say.

I’m actually planning on giving this blog a massive makeover, which will just be a matter of figuring out how to do that, exactly. We all remember how completely shocking I am when it comes to…umm, computery stuff, don’t we? ☺️

Feel free to follow me on Bloglovin, if you’d like, but otherwise I’ll still be completely accessible here. It will be as though nothing at all has changed.

So much love, my very bloggy family.

Your always friend,

xx Brooke
