Not take it "too seriously." Investing too much in the outcome instead of the act seems to be counterproductive to success. Also, on the past life thing, I figure if I've forgotten it, it's probably with good reason. I don't want to dredge up the past because I figure, like most people I've had some pretty horrific past lives. (I mean this is common sense looking at history and statistical realities.) I'd rather not know. Hey Edie, yeah I think I’m going to try to make it play.

People said knowing what happened in a past life freed them to go ahead in a positive way in this life. This echoed what a friend told me. She had a past life regression, and she said she learned what blocked her from success and that now she can succeed in her life. Just something to think about. :) I like Spy’s idea of making writing play. :)

When you said that something just "clicked" for me. Because I feel like the more seriously I take it, the more freaked out about it I get. What if I just chill out about it, take the ACT of writing seriously, but not the results so much. Just chill about it. I'll just play at writing everyday, and then practice sending it out. No expectations of fears one way or the other. That sounds like an excellent plan, Spy. When you said that something just “clicked” for me.

Play at writing, but just play at it every day. ;-) LOL … well, why don’t you try this? Play at writing, but just play at it every day. ;-)
