Rumi Inspiration

I only have time for a quick post because I'm NaNoWriMoing. The italicized lines are all Rumi, taken from Goodreads this time.

When I write, I remember:

Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.

When I have to revise my revolting rough draft, I remember:

How do the birds make great sky circles...
They fall and falling they are given wings.

When I get a critique and I need to make sooo many changes, I remember:

If you are irritated by every rub, how will your mirror be polished?

When I get a good rejection letter, I remember:

The wound is the place where the Light enters you.

When I sigh and think I'll never find an agent, I remember:

What you seek is seeking you.

Remember:

Do not be satisfied with the stories that come before you. Unfold your own myth.

Happy Halloween and Sayonara NaBloWriMo

Whew!Image via WikipediaI did it! I blogged every day for a whole month for NaBloWriMo. And now I can do the happy dance to celebrate :) I'm powering down the blogging now, going to a Monday-Wednesday-Friday schedule, because blogging is time consuming and November threatens to leave me crying "uncle".

Why?

Next month's task is daunting. I can't even join in the NaNoWriMo fun, because I still have to revise. Fortunately, Lydia Kang came up with NaNoRevMo so I won't feel left out. (And boy am I working on the revising!) For all the non-writers who are reading this ramble...NaNoWriMo is National Novel Writers Month, the rest are spin-offs of some writerly sort. 

So...here we go!
