Writing is like an eclipse

I have always had an appreciation for nature, and that adoration is included in my novels I am having a great time playing around with working titles for my novel, and I am finally happy with the titles I chose. (Even though I have no say if my book gets published.) Nature is also reflected in the scenery I create. I love meadows, forest, and in a perfect world I will be in a forest sitting by a lake writing, and hearing the glorious sounds of nature to me that's the best inspiration.

Since my title is called writing is like an eclipse, I will refer to that. Writing changes the obvious is rounds and rounds of revisions, which is necessary and important. I enjoy revisions , It enables me to get better because ideas that I never even considered jumps out at me, which makes me so giddy. On the flip side querying is hard, the anticipation of hearing back from an agent, the unexpected things that occur, which could be positive or negative. Sometimes I convince myself I am a glutton for punishment pursuing my dream of getting an agent/published and then I endure my own eclipse just when everything appears dark and I feel I cannot endure another rejection the light shines bright and I know writing is the only thing I want to do.

Life

  Silence.   Scream.    Couldn't utter a word but what was felt.   Darkness clutching the throat.  The threat of the freight train crash...
