“There is something delicious about writing the first words of a story. You never quite know where they’ll take you.” – Beatrix Potter
I started following Florence Given on IG, and I adore her. She uses the word delicious when referring to things that bring us joy, even outside of food. So when I saw this quote, it lit my fire.
I’m fully invested in having a delicious summer; I hope it flows into the fall.
Writing those first words of your story is a completely different place from where you finish. It feels like it’s been forever since I started this novel. ::deep sigh:: The editing process is long and comes with as many ups and downs as a marriage. But I deeply enjoy the connection I have to this novel.
This novel is a commitment that makes me feel purposeful and self-expressive. It makes me feel free, loved, and delighted. (Wow, that went full circle fast.)
Stop villainizing your desires!
Candlelit dinners with deep conversations and a man who knows deep in his gut that he’s better off with me.
A book where I am free to express all those different aspects, universal and deeply personal.
A place where I get to take myself to the depths that others have no interest in knowing.
Yes, all delicious. All part of the life I absolutely love waking up to every single day.
What are you dreaming of that you have been denying yourself lately? Or what did you finally take the time to enjoy?

I concur…life, love and language can be delicious when you try!
