Productive Writing

Today was fruitful. I started writing after breakfast, and by eight o'clock tonight I had four chapters finished in my rough draft, ready to start editing. 

This is exciting, watching as my brainchild, Hero in Cowboy Boots begins taking form and coming to life. The words flowed easily, and I tried to watch my passive verbs. I couldn't eliminate them all, but I whittled them down to a manageable amount. 

I also went to confessions at the church. We are counting down to the Easter season, and the Lord will occupy a large part of our time and hearts. My OCIA class is also making an impact. Both my husband and myself are praying and reading our Bibles, and trying to manage what we watch, say and read in our lives. I feel so free right now, knowing I am forgiven. Tomorrow I'll be able to take communion at Mass. What an amazing feeling!

For those of you who do not know Jesus, He is the reason I have survived for over 74 years. I can't begin to count all the times He has saved me, with the help of my Guardian Angel, who is kept very busy at times. Like the time I woke up on the left side of the Clifton river bridge, meeting a car that could have been full of kids and family or friends. Or the time I rode a dirt bike down a very long rocky driveway. A classmate was driving a car behind me going about 50 mph. One rock turned the wrong way could have caused me to crash  that dirt bike. We both made it and my friend was very impressed with my riding. But my parents were not so impressed. I didn't get to try that trick again.

I hope I can keep my sinning under control enough to take communion tomorrow. It's been a couple of weeks since I've been to communion.

May God be merciful to my soul.
