Inspiration or Distraction?

I know, I know, I ‘ve been dawdling, or was it something else?

I have manuscripts in progress. And I had great expectations to get at least one of them to my editor this year, but alas, I didn’t make it. Instead, I completed a course on Applied Astrology, which was certainly fascinating but not quite as satisfying as I’d hoped. Then I did a course on past life progressions, which was MUCH more captivating. LOL! It dawned on me after the fact that a lot of my writing is focused on shared lives or time shifting, which plays right into the PLR concept.

Want to know a secret? I progressed to a past life in Italy, roughly 1660 or so and discovered myself holding a specific Tarot card which I was able to track down in this lifetime. And yes, I did treat myself by purchasing the deck. (a recreation of a deck created by Giuseppe Mitelli) But, to get back to my point, it occurs to me that these distractions are indeed fodder for my writing, perhaps even inspiration to increase depth and color. I AM wrapping up the latest volume from my 21st Century Vampire series, tentatively now entitled Cat’s Wyrd, and it WILL reach my editor sometime in early 2025. I’ll update information here as time goes by. In the meantime…Happy Holidays and here’s to an awesome New Year!
