Happy Friday everyone. I'm blogging in place of Joann today since Joann's at the Romantic Times convention.
Every once in awhile, I'm aware of different aspects of my life changing, growing. It's much like shedding a skin, moving up a staircase, changing my clothes.
We outgrow behaviors, people, things, or in my case the way I write. When I first started seriously writing 2 years ago, my writing was weak. Now, it's much stronger, and it's constantly evolving. And this isn't a bad thing. Our world is constantly changing and really, if we are to survive, we must change as well.
Change or die. Incidentally, that was the theme of my last book. I guess it's been on my mind.
When you come to a crossroads in your life and you know you must leave a relationship, change a career, make a difficult choice, how do you handle it? Do you prefer to make the change quickly, like tearing off a Band-aid or do you let it eek out over the course of days or weeks?
Do you resist change with all your might or do you embrace it openly and without fear?
What's my point? I'm not sure. I just have a feeling change is in the wind and I think I like it...
Today is April 30th, which means Blogmania is going on. Over 100 blogs are involved and each one is giving away a prize. I'm participating with my Believing is Seeing blog. Rules of my giveaway are on my post, but to sweeten the pot for readers of the Paranormal Romantics blog, if you leave a comment, you'll be entered in a second contest for a different prize. Just mention on your comment you linked there from Paranormal Romantics. http://sandrasookoo.wordpress.com/
Good luck and have a great weekend!

I think for most of us, crossroads are the scariest time. Great blog Sandi.
Thanks :-)
On one hand they say,'if it isn't broken, don't fix it' on the other hand I believe change is always good. If you stagnate in place you slowly die or you find yourself behind everybody, because the others progess and you don't change. So yes we need to renew ourself regularly, update our blogs and give new themes, new stories, new genres to our readers.
BTW you have a beautiful blog. Don't change it:) LOL
Change IS good, but it's scary. =) Take it all one step at a time, or leap in with both feet...either way change will happen!

LOL Oh, I'm all for change :-) In fact, I can't wait :-)
Sandra,
My family says I hate change. I think I like it! Great post and I love the song lyrics--so appropriate!

I've gone through a crazy couple of years myself, some change for the worse (my daughter's medical crisis), some for the better (it forced me to focus 100% on my writing, and now I write full time - though I still work too. :) )
I left a comment for Blogmania too.
Did blogmania~was fun. I am not go with change. I like things to stay the same. Guess I fight as much as I can. LOL. Thanks for the great post.
