Plateau

I’ve got it!

I’ve plateaued! Sort of.

After writing the last blog entry and replying to a comment another writer made on a post on AgentConnect.com, I came to the realization that I am comfortably sitting on a writing plateau.

Different from writer’s block and actually a good place to be. Why? Because it means that I have been learning, growing and developing! Yes!

I was wondering why this week I can’t seem to spell or write a coherent sentence. Now I’ve got it!

It was like back in my days of teaching skiing. You grow, grow, grow, learn, learn, learn and then poof. For a bit, you can’t seem to move past where you are in your skills. It’s a plateau. You need time to let all your new skills settle and gel before you can move up some more on your skill level.

So, with that in mind…I am not writing anything new other than blogs at the moment. Instead, I am working on my writing muscle by trying out my new skills on an old manuscript and taking a slight breather. I’m not going too far though, I don’t want this plateau to develop into a block or an excuse to not keep developing.

So, there we have it. My week in a nutshell.

P.S. Gee whiz. It’s only 10 A.M. and I have three blog entries for today already. Maybe I should go do something else….
