It’s always fun to go back through my blog posts and see how I thought I had things all figured out. “This is how I’m going to edit from now on!” “I’m going to finish this project next, no matter what!”
The truth is life is in constant flux. And if you’re pursuing a creative career, you can expect even more changes than average. That’s one of the reasons it’s so important to be able to adapt.
If you’re too attached to a particular storyline or plot element, it can hold you back from seeing another path that could make your story even better. If you’re too committed to finishing a particular book, you might miss an opportunity for a story that’s already finished.
Our stories, our writing careers, our lives, will always hold uncertainty and change. Accepting that–and being okay with altering our plans–is a useful skill on the path to happiness.
