Hi there -
Wow! Life on our own as parents. No joke - there. It puts life into full swing when you are living away from family and friends and also raising a little fam. Lots of pros and cons, but I don’t really want to get into that. So, I’ll just sum it up as there have been some changes. It’s nice to speak of it from a view of acceptance and commitment? Because dare I say, I came here to do some things here on this earth. So, why can’t birthing humans and/or tending to pet babies not be a part of them.
There is worthiness in care-taking and nurturing. Yes please! Shouting that one out — And from here, I’ll now segway into the inspiration of this post. Which, actually directs me to another tangent of why I love writing this content here in Oracle Delivery: the every day magic of inspiration - inspiration as in the things in life that pulse more spirit inside of me - make me feel more present and more alive in my everyday no matter what I may be doing. A new perspective: what can be accomplished through simply being?
Creativity is the every flowing radiance of all of that. And, I try - here on Oracle Delivery - to deliver that.
Tangent complete - okay so my writing here is going to start to get really floppy ha. Because every morning now, I have carved out a time with Michael to where I may dedicate some writing time to my book. Huzzah! (Like I said - super floppy and silly)
So, now I am jumping on here to quickly share little tidbits of inspiration about creation that REALLY feel so good that I must share them with you all or it’ll hurt.
So, here it is:
This morning, I found myself really enjoying writing my entirely made up novel from the very beginning. I have not erased anything and instead have all the little tidbits, character inspo, structure organized into little tabs on my google doc. *I’m just self-admiring the blood I gave towards this organization, which this Virgo/Eclipse season hit you hard with streamlining your life too??)
Anyways, So, I absolutely loved writing from the beginning because I am really starting to develop the characters of my story. Slowly, obviously — but really - as I am typing the book, the scene is playing out in my head. It reminds me of when I was a thirteen year old reading Twilight. I could imagine what Edward looked like. Or with Harry Potter, I could screenplay in my brain what kind of sparks the wands would dispel in battle showdowns.
It got me thinking about how this is my joy in writing. I LOVE fantasizing the story in my head. It is so fun. So much better to ride on instead of “how in the world is this going to come all together?” Because that is obviously present too, but I don’t really speak to it. So it’s really no big deal.
I would imagine that this is the simplicity of putting more power into faith over fear. One simply chooses what thoughts to illuminate.
Second inspiration from this:
Developing characters is like playing God for a whole new world/story. I am getting in the habit of just allowing my writing to flow and graciously accepting that edits can always come later. With that said, it is really fun to just describe the character and give them certain actions and tidbits that feel just right for them in the moment. I find myself thinking of certain people at different times. I don’t based my character off of solely one person. And instead, it is this melding of habits and personality traits, things I admire or remember most. Again, it is riding on the wave of whatever is most present. And so, there was this magical realization that we (as humans) really all sort of blend together as one.
One body, many people. No matter how different we are — there are ways we sort of compliment or infuse this collective psyche and the characters I am developing in my story are showing me that.
Why not create a character that pulled from different friends of mine? Different experiences that left lasting imprints of how the psyche (in that moment) may want to be described.
It is a really connecting idea to sort of play around with fictional writing in that way. And, when I stared up at the stars this evening — I couldn’t help but remember that.
All these stars, and yet one body, one people.
Oneness exists in everything and creation is just a fun way of playing with it.
I’m sure some of this didn’t make sense, but hey - I’m not a eloquent as chatgpt.
I hope this email feels more like a quick phone call or story share from a friend.
— With love,
Patricia
