ARTICLE ASTROLOGERS «STRATEGIES SANDRA-LEIGH FOR WRITINGSERIO CONSISTENTLY & EFFECTIVELY» Serendipity is the law of my life—and of my writing—and you can train yourself to use it effectively in your own research. Be receptive to the flow of information, for the Universe may very well be feeding you valuable clues. Write What's Easy Today. Let go of the idea that you must start with paragraph one and go on sequentially to the end of the article or chapter, because with the tools that word processing provides, that is no longer necessary. Consulting the outline, see what pieces make up the whole. Some will spark your interest immediately and stimulate you to write and do research. Those parts tend to flow like magic. Other topics on the outline will seem too hard or too boring, and you are more likely to become bogged down if you force yourself to work on them. Some parts are too hard because you haven't yet done the research or perhaps Serendipity hasn't yet brought you the clients or experiences that will clarify that piece of the puzzle. Trust me on this—if you focus on what is both easy and interesting to write today, each piece will fall into place in time. What if nothing seems easy? Then you might better spend time on research or organizing the materials in your folders—or read a good book and veg out! No good comes of pushing yourself to write if it isn't flowing. The writing done under those conditions reeks! A sub-rule of this is, don't waste your good energy on the tedious parts. If you wake up excited about writing, write what's easy and fun that day; don't write something just because it's next in the book or because you think you have to. Jump on that excitement and ride it! ■ What if nothing seems easy? © 2006 BY DONNA CUNNINGHAM The Career Astrologer Volume 16  Number 2  July, 2007.
