Are we there yet? Have we reached 2021? Sorry, not quite, it is October first, but we are much closer than before. If you've been on a road trip with others, you may have heard this being said. To those asking this question it is about the destination not the journey. What kind of person are you? Destination or journey? I'm about the destination, because frankly the car puts me to sleep and I miss seeing the scenery. I'm a terrible car companion. Life is a different kind of road trip. I'm always in a hurry to get the next book published or to reach the next day off from work, but I realize there are nuggets of valuable things that I should savor along the way. Time with my husband and fur baby is priceless. I don't rush past that in a hurry, but my daily grind is sometimes a challenge. Let's just say it is character building, and I'm a work in progress. I can learn from the journey, but the destination is still more pleasant. I find joy in the journey and destination from the pages of the stories I create and read. The tales I make up are the best, because I control the reins and no one can change that. My editor may make suggestions and fix the sentences that are awkward or incorrect but ultimately, I'm queen! I suggest finding your own niche where you control the ending to keep you sane in a world that isn't using common sense. We can't always control what happens to us, but true character and strength is shown by our reactions. I hope you choose wisely and that your journey and destination find some peace and happiness.
