Writing for your Soul

The crud has still got me so I apologize for the gaps in blogs. I heard Russel Simmons on Oprah yesterday (yep, on the couch with the cold watching tv). He has a book out called Do You. The point of it as it was discussed is to find yourself and connect with that universal thread that runs through all of us. This is something I lose site of daily, weeklyl, monthly, yearly, etc. In learning to market my first novel I have become very frustrated because I get caught up in the marketing mind (what a tangled web of stuff). I forget to step back and inhale, look around, tap into that place in me where the truth lies and then act. I keep frantically implementing new "marketing ideas" and getting nowhere. I lose my passion for writing. I need to get back to the source. To that well inside me where wonder happens, where I sense the connectiveness to all things. Most importantly though, I need to give to the world and stop thinking about some marketing goal. I have used this positive approach previously in my life and it is so life-affirming. So today find yourself by giving to others and let the Tao loose in your life.
