Waiting


I am waiting to get back into the groove. Life has a tendency to find ways of distracting one from their primary goal. Waiting to see if it all falls into place, I have tried once or twice to force thing in the direction I would like them to go, but it is often fruitless. I find that patience like time and space need to be eternal, and I have done my fair share of waiting. Waiting and preparing to be in the right place at the right time, with all my pieces ready to go, for what's worth.

Oh no no no no.

You are not doing this.

If you play the waiting game, there will never be a "right place and a right time" to get started again. Instead you need to exercise persistence and diligence. Life will always distract, hinder, and in some cases halt your goal. The solution is not patiently waiting for life to leave, it's pushing back against it as hard as it's pushing against you.

Trust me, Nick, you have to press on with this project, or it will never be completed. This is a long book you're writing and there's going to be worse--much worse--things that will halt its development. This is a test to your loyalty to your project. Are you going to let life stop something this important to you?

I know you can do it.
