Get Back to Being " Myself "

Since I was nineteen I've thrust myself into my writing. I love writing more than anything but right now I am sick of thinking about " Divas of the New Millennium ". I am proud that the book is doing well but I can't seem to find who I am again. It's different with my fiction books because they don't seem to steal my identity. This book, " Divas " seems to be everywhere I turn and I never thought I'd get so exhausted about it. Like I said, I am glad it's doing so well but I need to focus on something else for a while. I'm human. I want to remember who I was.

I want to get back to being Stacy and not just the author. I need to tap into the person I used to be. I've lost that and it scares me. It's weird to put everything into something then turn around and feel like you've lost your identity. So I will take some time to pay more attention to myself.
My agenda will be to get back to my photography. As you all know I am a landscape photographer. I haven't taken any pictures in a while. I plan to get started again. Photography relaxes me because it's good to take on a subject and not be the center of attention for once. I never thought I'd say that. I always felt ignored in life now I want to break away from everything. I also have a photo shoot coming up. I mentioned it before I think.

I am happy about that. I've just been so tired that I hope I can get my mind frame together in order for it to be successful. I will continue reading the latest novel I am currently enjoying. In other words I am going to stop putting so much pressure on myself and take a little time to get back to knowing me. Not Stacy the writer, but the girl I was before. I don't have anything in my life besides writing and that scares me. I need to redefine my life.

I am happy for my accomplishments. I work hard at everything I do and expect to have things get even better. But I have to be honest with myself and pay more attention to myself. Not just the person I want to be.

These pictures are from my landscape collection, taken by me of course. Pretty good huh? I got a good eye wouldn't you say? I took these last summer, 2004. Houston's beautiful isn't it?
