| Inspiration... |
Dana Barrand and I were recently talking about an email that I wrote, and she encouraged me in my writing; that maybe I should do more of it... possibly even trying to get something published in this year. The thought is a scary one. I love to write, sometimes I even think I'm an ok writer. But I'll tell you what I told her - when I was in Grade 6 already I loved to write. I wrote 70 pages of what I thought was going to be a book before I let a friend read it... and my friend laughed at me after she'd read it... I garbaged those pages, and ever since have had an incredibly difficult time letting people read my writing. Even handing in a paper nearly kills me if I think I haven't done a good enough job - any Bethany'ers out there might relate to this: handing in a garbage paper to Randy or Gil nearly does me in. Anyway, since Dana todl me this a few days ago, I've been looking at life through new eyes - where will the inspiration come from? I don't know, but as I sit here in the Broadway Roastery, surrounded by people and life I know that something will nudge that part of my brain that loves to write and create a flowing piece of work that others enjoy reading. Crazy... I've never had a serious New Years Resolution before... now I do.
Erica's New Years Resolution: Get something published before Jan 1, 2007. (or at least attempt to...)
I hope 2006 is a year in which you all can experience something... don't run away from the questions life brings you, face em head on... be a different person tomorrow than you are today... and never forget to enjoy the ride.
Sincerely, Erica |

The success of love is in the loving - it is not in the result of loving. Of course it is natural in love to want the best for the other person, but whether it turns out that way or not does not determine the value of what we have done.
