Commitment, The Number 8, and Einstein’s Theory of Relativity…

A novel, the first draft of which I wrote 8 years ago, has come together.

Wow!

It hit me like a ton of bricks. I’m so excited and obsessed with this revision, like with none other.

It’s such a wonderful feeling to have something that you’ve been holding, and for such a long time, on which you’ve worked so hard, and then realizing it just wasn’t right, you laid aside.

I logged 6 revisions during this time. Yet always at the end, the pieces didn’t fit. I had yet to display my best work on this story.

These are the human actions reflective of life and living that writers notice and expand upon either by writing a story or novel or tucking them away for later use in describing the response or motion of a character in the heat of conflict or a reverie of emotions stimulated by a memory.

For Christmas my husband gave me the Mac Version of Dictate. Data is a program that allows you to type on your computer through voice activation.

In short, you speak into the receiver and the computer types what you say. He tells me that the program has to become familiar with our voice, which requires little, if any time.
