Blogger Block

I'm suffering--from blogger's block.  I have been in a bit of a funk because there are so many unfinished projects and unmade decisions.  Everything is written down very neatly in my trusty notebook, and I stare at it.  A lot.  I haven't even been able to read lately and that's my favorite thing to do.  It relaxes me.  It's like yoga for my mind.  There's only one person who is always allowed to sit in my room(head) with me when I get overwhelmed.  That's my Al.  My husband.  My touchstone for all things good.

Silly humans

I kind of noticed he was always just a few steps away from me.  He tends to sense when my brain gets boggled down in the daily information.  He never asked me questions.  He never told me what I should be doing.  You know those people who should all over you?  That's not him.  Instead, he would sit on the couch with me and watch Nashville.  I know he doesn't like that show, but he sure does like me.  Or, he would come home from working all day and make dinner for us.  Also, he would make sure I got plenty of hugs.  Even when I didn't really deserve them.

There have been so many adjustments since I decided to start writing.  I have started to wonder if being creative is a curse.  Is it?  I don't know.  You never hear of a financial analyst getting lost in his or her head.  Maybe that's because they don't write all of their thoughts out for the world to see?  Maybe they are just as lost?  Hmm.  All I know is my Al has been patiently and protectively making me March Fourth.

So, here I am.  Writing.  Admitting.  The truth.  Al says if I don't just keep going forward then I will remain here forever.  I guess that's true.  It's just that my brain feels bigger than me right now.  We'll see where I go next.  Until then.

Dr. Circuit and the brain

Book Tour: Janelle Kahele

Janelle Kahele is the author of Blink: The Blink Series - Breaking Branches, Blink: The Blink Series - Blinded by Judgment, and Mine.

Author J. Kahele 

I had the pleasure of reading Breaking Branches, which is part of The Blink Series.  Christia (Tia) Cartwright is the main character.  She is a very independent person, who is also very loyal to her friends.  Tia is battling some demons--alcohol and loss.  Michael Wellington enters her life.  The friendship develops into more, and Tia is forced to confront her demons.  As the relationship moves forward, Tia learns more about Michael and his own ghosts.  What are Michael's ghosts?  Read it and find out!

In addition to reading Breaking Branches, I also had the opportunity to ask the author some questions.

Why do you write?   I write to relieve the thoughts that are in my mind.

What advice would you give aspiring authors? To write with honesty and although the first book may not  show the vision you are attempting to portray, the more you write, the more your vision will become  clearer.

What are some of your next projects? I am working on the third installment of Blink: The Series, and I am working on a second installment of my book Mine.
