There are many people in this world who are very wise about the writing process. I, alas, am not one of them. Sometimes I realize I wrote four books for Variant Publishing, and I honestly don't know how I did it!<br /><br />I would recommend The Art of Fear, and also maybe The Artist's Way. Oh, and Stephen King has a great book on writing. They are all far better guides than I am through the world of writerly anxiety!<br /><br />Warmest,<br />VivVivianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11008724776478015660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8902179632740561852.post-20018220749094909102014-03-04T01:55:15.179-07:002014-03-04T01:55:15.179-07:00First of all I would like to say superb blog!

I had a quick question in which I'd like to ask if you don't mind.<br />I was curious to know how you center yourself and <br />clear your mind prior to writing. I have had difficulty clearing <br />my mind in getting my ideas out there. I do take pleasure <br />in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally lost just trying to figure out how to begin.<br />Any recommendations or tips?

But why does being humbled have to be "empowering" in order to be justified? I ask what's wrong with being beneath your man? Are you free enough in your mind to do that?

Part of that acceptance was being nurtured by the world around me: nature, music, people in degrees of pain, and on and on. I learned to laugh and cry. I chose nurturing careers. I am currently a nurse, a good one because I can open myself up to my patients and at the same time provide first-rate care. <br /><br />I absolutely love the concept of submission because it is so sweet. For me it is an intimate aspect of the feminine, whether it is giving back what has been lovingly received, or the act of accepting myself. I am grateful to have discovered this blog because in spite of my spiritual, professional and insightful discoveries, there is a person in my life with whom I need and long to practice this submission with. I know it will be healing just as my experiences above have been. I do have some issues with some of the writings in this blog, eg, I am often very suspicious of males, and in general prefer the company of females. OK. I guess I had to say that. I really do not have any trouble understanding a woman accepting a spanking from her husband. Back to work.<br /><br />And Vivian, you really are a courageous woman and wonderful writer. And from where I'm sitting, I can see you have beautiful eyes.<br /><br />Thanks, again. <br /> AnnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8902179632740561852.post-30795879985017217872007-03-15T07:36:00.000-06:002007-03-15T07:36:00.000-06:00Your words: "Learning to be humble and maintain on...Your words: "Learning to be humble and maintain one's self-respect at the same time seems so central to the idea of spiritual and moral character that it may be a prerequisite for developing inner strength.<BR/><BR/>The problem is that in today's culture, it's very difficult for an intelligent, empowered, feminist woman to find safe ways of experiencing humility that don't compromise her professional or social standing."<BR/><BR/>so beautifully explain what I love about DD. I've never felt so powerful, so fulfilled, before we started this. Humility is freeing, and with freedom (from all the things that hold me back) comes strength.Adam's Angelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15070558430758341899noreply@blogger.com
