I left a career in high tech to pursue making a living through writing and Internet marketing. The writing part is firmly established. I'm still in my infancy re Internet marketing. I wish you the best on your journey. Life journeys can be very rich! Cheryl,

I love your play on the words bliss and bills. These days my partner and I both write like mad on the weekends because our jobs demand too much of us during the week. I have decided that in a year I am retiring and I am devoting full time to the internet and writing. I'm impatient to get there! Once I get there, who knows, but having that time "in the unknown" is vital to our growth, no matter what we do or where it takes us. Good luck to you! Sol, what a wonderful place you are in!

I'll play along and write every day for a few weeks and see what arises. It'll be a nice adjunct to my other spiritual practices. There's nothing wrong with being a writer. I love it. I made a conscious decision to write and I'm delighted that in only a couple of months that this new career is paying my bills with only a part-time engagement. (My subconscious (or soul) typed "bliss" instead of "bills" the first time I typed the word!) I feel that there is a big piece of mission for me that is wanting to unfold, which will probably involve writing. I'm just impatient with myself at times and forget to enjoy the process. That's all. Corinne,

You just have not heard it yet. I think writing randomly like this could uncover some amazing information you have. Why not try it for a few weeks every day? Expect that you will start getting a little clarity after you get past about a page and a half. By the way, what's wrong with being a writer? Hi Sol -

I have a question. How do you know when it's time to use this technique? I have been in the "fertile void" for a couple of months now. I quit my job and have been paying my bills as a writer which is a new career for me But, I know there's something important I'm to do beyond what I'm currently doing yet I feel like this is the time for me to just be with the unknown and let this life transition unfold without rushing to action. Maybe I've just answered my own question but do you have a way to know when it's ok to have no next thing to do and when it's time to move forward? Corinne,

Yes, not reading it is important because in doing so you are churning up all the stuff you just exorcised. You want to let it just lay there. Not recycle it. The objective is to clear the way for a more objective seeing. This is not an easy process. It is a journey. Not a road. If you have made progress on clearing the boulders, you want them behind you. Not following you. They might anyway - but let's not encourage that. Hi Karen (Karooch)

Especially the part about not reading what you have written. i would not have thought of that but it makes sense. Given that you have just written stuff that you may never have acknowledged in any other way. This is an interesting technique Corinne.

My suggestion of writing it down is what works for me. But the objective is to get your skeletons out of the closet. So, you can look at your problems more objectively. I want to particulary mention that you are doing some wonderful work on your blog. Congratulations! Dear Mwangi -

The only thing I would add would be for people like me who are too lazy to write it out or maybe get a video camera and record themselves talking through the problem. Hey Corrine,
Phenomenal suggestion. The only thing I would add would be for people like me who are too lazy to write it out or maybe get a video camera and record themselves talking through the problem.
