As I’m finishing up revisions on my manuscript, I needed a shot of August’s infectious positivity. This is one of my favorite posts by her and I’ve wanted to share it for a while. Please enjoy:

What some consider daydreaming, I consider necessary thought processes. Daydreaming is where so many of our ideas come from! It was a great post. Thanks for sharing it.
It really resonated with me and boosted my spirits. Made me realize all that time daydreaming was really how I laid out how to get where I wanted to be. Even now, it helps. 🙂
That’s so lovely of You K
Going to read right now ………
thinking of you during revision time
and don’t stop believin babe xx

Thanks Cat! I plan to submit it next week. Can’t believe it’s only 1 week away. Wow revision time flew by. And even if this revision doesn’t get me an agent, it got the book to a far far better place and that’s time well spent. 🙂
I know my sweet ……………..
I have the shoes on 🙂 lol
Thinking of you and you know what 🙂 it will all work out the way IT SHOULD – 🙂 xoxoxoxo
Thanks Catherine! Hope so. It’s weird when it was 10 weeks away it felt so much less scary. Now that it’s only 5 days away, it feels so real.
XOXO

Thanks C. It’s been a wonderful couple of years. So happy to have met you along the road and be traveling forward together. 🙂

How sweet are you, Kourtney? Thanks so much for the shout out and support. Positivity is the only thing I’d hope to infect you with. LOL
Best of luck with those revisions! Sure you’ll rock ’em. 🙂
It was yet another amazing blog post. 🙂 And it’s only positivity and greater self-awareness that you’ve infected me with. 🙂 I’m proofreading this week and sending out on Monday. Really excited and really nervous.
Good on you Kourtney–keep going with those revisions–and I’m always happy to read about daydreaming and to read August’s well-crafted words.
Thanks! I’ve been meaning to repost this and last night I got slammed with revisions so I decided August to the rescue! 🙂
This was a great, inspiring post. 🙂 And I’m sending positive thoughts your way on your revisions. You’ve got a great attitude toward them, and I hope they do result in representation for you!
August is one of my favorite bloggers. I always feel like I walk away better for having read her posts. 🙂 Thanks so much for the positive thoughts. I’m in the final 5 days, it’s suddenly really scary. Because it’s no longer something on the horizon but just a few steps in front of me. Representation is the dream, but these are the best notes/feedback I’ve ever received on a manuscript. It was a pleasure to work through them and it gave me an idea of what revisions are like with an agent/editor. It was an invaluable experience. And I’m really really happy with how the manuscript came out. Fingers crossed I get to keep working with this agent!
Thanks Kourtney for guiding me to August’s post. That was great to read about–I’m not a spacey daydreamer. I’m being good!
Glad you enjoyed it Char! I’ve often daydreamed about changing my life or even started building a story world. Some of the best things came out of those daydreams. 🙂
Love and beutifullllllllllll wishes to You xo
Thanks! I’m a huge fairytale fan. And I love this song. 🙂 Thanks so much for brightening up my afternoon!

Damon is so intriguing. I can’t decide who I want Elena with but I’d like to see her with Damon for a while just to be able to compare. 🙂

I think they are dating in real life right ?

I remember reading that too. They have awesome chemistry. Though it’s not so much acting when you feel it in real life and pretend it on tv. 😉
Have a star-gazing weekend!
