Over the edge,

Beyond the Fringe

1/26/2018

The edge. I dare not go over, for I might fall. Would it be so bad? Perhaps not. The currents lifting me higher, the dips, the dives, floating through and beyond. Solitude capturing moments. Beliefs shattered, staggering. The turn of events snagged in a millisecond to save the experience. Climbing, ever climbing, again. The journey continues until the edge appears, foreboding, challenging, gut wrenching stamina to the end. Exhaustion. Numb mind thoughts settle passively taking steps to the fringe. Outside the comfort, hold on to your being. Unravel the dream, past the stars and beyond. Publish the damn book!

Ann I had to laugh. It was such a powerful piece of life but a wonderful twist to publish that damn book. Just where I am at the moment. Just do it. Good luck.

I am happy it made you laugh Irene, it was meant to. Too often we get so immersed in the things we are doing, we forget to step back and have a laugh. Especially when it comes to getting on with the publishing stage of our books. Good luck with yours.

I felt the courage to start the journey, the battering, the exhaustion, and when I got to your last line I felt convicted! Excellent piece of writing. You certainly caught the fluctuation of emotions with the publishing end of the writing.

The emotions of writing and ultimately publishing can have offer up an adverse set of twists, turns and emotions.
