“If you do not hear music in your words, you have put too much thought into your writing and not enough heart.” – Terry Brooks

Sack

Whitley felt like a heavy sack of potatoes.

She was just there thinking if one more obligation could topple her, like a domino effect.

She felt numb and lacked motivation; this emptiness was often hidden or neglected because no one else seemed to notice.

Was she to give in to those feelings of emptiness?

Could she pick up the toppled-over Dominoes of her life and stand them up again?

But then, just like a flash of lightning, hope lit up the darkness and  filled her heart…

A WEEK LATER

A person does not just give up or give in when life gets tough.

They YIELD to any defense,turn the other cheek,ignore doubts of others, or, I dont know, surrender to selfish wants.

At least Whitley thought so.

Today was her fifth anniversary of being diagnosed as a chronic pain sufferer.

She knew that she had to have a lot of grace from others for her situation in life.

Whitley also knew that graced is something she had to give herself as well.

“The trouble with writing fiction is that it has to make sense, whereas real life doesn’t.”
