Indeed.

Well said! I, too, know all too well the paradox of the “mystically inclined writer.” And, after many decades of writing solely for money, I also enjoy the experience of writing for love. At the end of the day, however, my urgings to share always rise to the top…

So, it’s been a long time since I put words on a page simply for my own use; they were always an attempt to communicate something to somebody. This puts the mystically inclined writer into a paradoxical postion: s/he is asked to write and to do everything else without concern about outcomes, yet until the novel or the short story or the poem is published, the task of having written it remains incomplete.

Seeing the book on the shelf at the bookstore is not so much about validation, but a step in completing the task (or perhaps, the mission). I do not need to communicate to myself by writing notes and poems to myself. While my fiction is a cathartic rendering of my inner journeys, it is first and foremost a communication of these journeys to others, as step that seems at times to be forever in the hands of others from agents to editors.

Congratulations on your breakthroughs. Your energy and joy are radiating all over the screen!

I heartily embrace that there are infinite flavors out there for everyone walking a path of personal wholeness and success — and it’s always exhilirating to hear from folks who are aligning with their perfect support tools and resources.

Plus, I have been thinking a lot about the power of “3″ the last few days, so the “3 for 3″ seems “up” for me right now. Not the first time though: my post of April 11 (unleash, unravel, untie: transformation’s triple crown) touched on it, too.

Thanks so much for sharing your awesomeness, JR Fan! Come back and visit again…

Not anymore. Since I learned the idea of going “3-For-3”, I’ve seen big changes in my life and that dream no longer seem far fetched. I’m writing EVERY SINGLE DAY and already have the first five scenes of the screenplay completed. And I’m enrolled in a screenplay writing class!

“3-For-3” means THOUGHTS, FEELINGS, AND ACTIONS aligned. So rather than just dreaming about writing and waiting for the story to miraculously appear, I stop and walk through those steps each evening after work: I clear my workspace, open my computer, and then go 3-for-3. I think about the screenplay coming into form, feel the joy and pleasure of the writing, and then act – and begin to type.

I know this seems really, really simple but 99% of the time we forget to go 3-for-3. How often do you think to yourself, I’m gonna lose 15 lbs. and then never do any feeling or acting? Sometimes these things are super-simple. It’s working for me.
