umble
Humble? Yes, humble. Right now I have lots of reasons to remain humble. I'm stuck at a place I've been stuck before. It isn't writer's block. It isn't lack of ideas. So what is it? It is plot f!@#$%kedupness. It is writing when I don't have a plan and it just plain gets me in trouble, but here I am again! In trouble. Because I was a clever boots and wrote all this stuff I now have to dismantle and possibly abandon. So, away from that moan and back to humble.
I'm writing about a community in northern Canada. It's a mystery set on a reserve. I worked on that reserve, and became more and more aware of what I didn't know. I thought I understood the concerns of the first nations peoples of this country, but I knew shite. I thought I understood problems like loss of language, the continued oppression of aboriginal people, poverty on reserves, suicide, drugs, and those who profit off such a situation - but again, I knew nothing. What did I learn after five years. I know nothing. But, at least I know I know nothing. My mind is now open to being surprised, because I know I know nothing.
How to revise - by keeping my mind open because whatever I think I know, I don't.
So now back to it.
Sorry I was late today. I was mired in self-doubt. I get there when I've sufficiently fooled myself into thinking I know something that I don't know. When that becomes obvious I rebel by getting sooky. Then I remember that knowing I know nothing, is a swell place to be. Whew! I'm back there...

You're right, Jan; staying/being humble is an important part of telling a good story. TO me, anyway, arrogance does not serve a story. And that means doing research, trusting people who know the places/people/etc.. you're writing about, and listening to people who critique your work. That's how a story advances. People who are humble write better stories because they don't have anything to prove to others, if that makes sense.
Just a couple of months ago, I gave this relationship doctor Robinson buckler a try. It was my last hope to get my ex husband back.
Weeks before my ex left me and our 2 children, there were a lot of argument and fighting between me and him. On the day he left me, he told me that he doesn't think he loved me any more and this was not working. I was so devastated hearing this, I begged him not to go and I even promised that I would change. But he made up his mind already. He packed his bags and left our house.
I tried calling him and texting him to tell him I miss him and still love him. I asked him to give us another chance. He slowly stopped replying to my messages and stopped picking up my calls.
I then searched the internet on how to get ex back, and even bought a few products such as text your ex back and ex recovery system. Nothing worked, and my ex was still very cold towards me.
When I was about to give up, I found Robinson buckler ex back program. He is a relationship coach with a lot of success stories. I knew what I needed was not a book but a coach to guide me how to make my ex fall in love with me again. I immediately signed up for his program.
In the first couple of days, I made a lot of good progress. I am happier and more confident. My ex saw the positive changes in me, and started to talk to me more and even asked me out for dates.
Fast forward two weeks later, my ex told me that he wants to give our relationship a second try. I was beyond happy when I heard that.
Now, we are closer and happier together. It would not have happened without Robinson buckler help.
I highly recommend
