Quickly Blot Out the Nasty

The dog has an enviable mind; it remembers the nice things in life and quickly blots out the nasty - Barbara Woodhouse

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could easily forget the negative things in our lives? How much better things would be if we could easily forget the bad stuff that happens or the bad things people might say about our work. The irony of being a writer is that tension and contrast made for better stories.

Not all negativity is bad negativity though. I try to look forward to the feedback that my writing group provides on my submissions. I do admit, sometimes I think I’ve submitted a fabulous piece and then it gets torn to shreds by my colleagues. I’d rather have them look at it and poke holes in it before it gets rejected by someone else.

After all, without a little tension and conflict, the characters we fall in love with might be a little bit boring. And then what would we do about happily ever after?

How you turn negativity in your dream journey into positives?
