Another brilliant piece from a GUNNAS WRITING MASTERCLASS WRITER.
Dear Catherine
I wanted to thank you for your generosity of spirit and for all you shared with me and the rest of the Gunnas!
My reason for coming along was to kick start my writing and to find my mojo. I came to Gunnas thinking you would have a magic tool for me to do that, and you did. You reminded me that I don’t need to have any special tools or methods or process I just have to do it! I have all I need!
What I loved though is that you gave me a sense that I am not alone! Hearing your journey and meeting all the Gunnas and hearing all their stories reassured me of that!
Here is my game plan…
On Christmas day 2016 I will give myself 7 pieces of writing. I won’t get hung up on whether anyone else will read them, like them, judge my opinions. I will just write them for me.
To get started I will build my motivation with action. Everyday that I catch the train to work (4 days a week) I will write from Eltham – Ivanhoe.
When I get to “rei me” I will pull out my head band and lean in some more! I am going to make myself (and for my kids) a stamp that says “That is fantastic! You are awesome. Keep going!” and stamp it on each piece I write at the end of each month.
When I hear those negative thoughts pop into my head I am going to say to them – “aha! Catherine told me you would come. Wait there till I am at Clifton Hill station then I will listen!”
Last but not least I am going to make my two boys posters about how fiercely I love them and crazy parenting advice!
Today reminded me again to make the most of every moment, to love deeply and to just enjoy life.
Thank you
Rosie
