The Universe (ocean) 'Waving' Me Forward

I retired on September 28th. The transition between years of working day and night jobs, and putting in a full-time job for 32 years, knocked me for a loop. For the first three weeks I was so tired. I slept gods-twisted hours, and found my brain still thinking "This is just a vacation, you'll have to go back to work soon." Then I would realize that was a conditioned response and find myself wondering, "What do I do now? My writing, sure... but...." And I would leave it out there.

I suddenly had TIME! Well, it took me almost two months to get out of that mindset and begin to focus. I'm also in the process of cleaning the house which, due to a bad back, I've let go for two years. So imagine THAT project hanging over the head. (As of this writing I've almost got the kitchen organized. Almost. Not quite... but it's better than it was.) 

Then came National Novel Writer's Month for November. The time when writers, both seasoned and beginners, take to a writing project for 30 days to shoot for a 50,000 word goal in a rough draft version of their novel, novella, or non-fiction book (or an anthology of short stories.) I made my goal in 6 days for a new Bromance story for a novel. But, I wanted to reach 100,000 words since I still had 24 days to operate. I cleared that goal on November 22nd. Today is the 30th. I have about 700 more words to go to reach the 110,000 word mark. Once there I'm calling it quits. I challenged myself to break some records, which I managed to do: Most wordiest day: 19,438 words. Most wordiest novel -- This one for this year. And now personal badges of updating my word count 30 days in a row. Meaning I've written at least 50 to whatever amount of words a day for 30 days in a row. These were personal challenges and I've met them. I can breathe a bit, and now that National Novel Writer's Month (NaNoWriMo) is finished for this year... it's back to my scripts.

To seal that purpose, lo and behold, what should I pull in my daily Tarot reading from The Witches Tarot but: The Eight of Cups --

My first thought was the Pleiades star system (though it's normally called the Seven Sisters. Still....) As I studied the card it was then I noticed the dolphin at the left of the rocks. I at first thought it was part of the rocks on the shore due to its location, but then realized it's a dolphin and dolphins are associated with the Pleiadian group of ET beings from that system. Dolphins, whales, the lot. As a dolphin and whale lover since a child I took this as a message from possibly some ET guides in that group and was immediately drawn to the ocean (I'm an ocean lover) and realized something was up. Then I read the meaning to the card: It's time to move forward, leave your past behind.

Does this mean my novels, too? Leave them behind and focus solely on my scripts? The novels are weights on my time and the way this woman is looking forward with stalwart determinism, I suppose I could try it and see what happens. I love my novel stories, but it's the scripts that work better for me on a writing level. It's more challenging, and I can transpose those novel stories into scripts if I learn enough and 'challenge' myself to do so. Hence, my decision today to get back into my scripts. There is an incredible feeling of joy and peace with that decision and I plan to listen to my Pleiadian star guides and my dolphins. The time has come to 'reach for the stars.' 

I hope you will come with me on this journey as I can share so much now that I've got my desire in place and am ready to tackle it. If I can meet those personal challenges for NaNoWriMo this year, I can do THIS. 👍👽😍
