That Crazed Guinea Pig Feeling

"I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much."
~ Mother Theresa

Other than blog posts and grocery lists, I've written jack squat since April. I know. Horrifying admission from a writer, eh? Sometimes life deals out a hand that has just too many cards to hold onto. Something's got to give, and for me, it was writing.

Life is still busy, but I'm ready to swing my leg up into the authorly saddle again. I need to. It's either kill off some characters or commit a felony. And jail time kind of mucks up the ol' schedule, know what I mean?

The tricky part is getting back into the story that I started. It had a lot of twisty plot turns and intricate characters. The thing is...it's kind of like trying to gather up a flipped over crate of guinea pigs who are all making a run for the border. I don't have a guinea pig net, they're not all headed for the same border, and oh, did I mention the handicap of wearing oven mitts just to make it more of a challenge? Yeah. I'm talking overwhelming.

But not impossible. Sometimes tough jobs require a little elbow grease and perseverance, but mostly perseverance. So here's a reminder for us all: Keep at it. Plug away. Eat that elephant one bite at a time.

Because you will fail if you don't try.
