The good news is, you\u2019re probably closer to finishing your story than you think.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Enter the spy guy<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019d write a comedy version of a spy story, it\u2019d include a scene, where the main character, a.k.a. spy guy arrives at the most important part of the mission, but he\u2019s in trouble. He\u2019s stuck in one place, because if he picks up his right leg, the alarms will go off and he\u2019s caught. But he needs to get going, because it\u2019s almost time for the bad guys to come back to their base. What is he to do?<\/p>\n<p><strong>The information spy guy needs to sabotage the evil plan of the bad guys is right in front of him.<\/strong> He needs to get it, disarm the bomb and sneak back out to report to the special units, but it\u2019s just not happening. He\u2019s trapped and he\u2019s panicking.<\/p>\n<p>Likely, when you finish writing your story, everything is there. You have a storyline, the main character, the conflict, the resolution. But somehow, it seems like it\u2019s just a big messy blob of words. You may be panicking.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The mess gets bigger<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In our \u201cMission Impossible\u201d comedy, the spy guy would become extremely clumsy when he\u2019s nervous. Every breath he takes makes him sink even deeper into trouble. Every move he makes, only makes his situation worse.<\/p>\n<p>This is how it feels when your story is there, the pieces are there, but it hasn\u2019t come together just right. And whatever edits you make, it seems to mess things up even worse.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Finishing Your Story: Is there a way out?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>What does the spy guy need to do in this situation? The moment our spy guy realizes where he stands, he stops. He probably gets distracted by a rat running away with a sandwich he was eyeing on the desk, but then\u2026. Magic happens!<\/p>\n<p><strong>He suddenly sees the plan.<\/strong> He sees the blueprint of the enemy base, remembers all the alarms and potential traps, and sees where he can disarm the bomb and steal the critical information.<\/p>\n<p>It all shows up when he slows down.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Similarly, whenever you feel like your story is chaotic<\/strong>, whenever you feel like you don\u2019t see the forest from the trees, it\u2019s time to let it rest.<\/p>\n<p>Take a rest from writing. Your story is there, but it needs clarity to emerge in its most amazing form.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Getting away, but not like you thought<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A great and easy-to-access way to take a rest and really recharge your creative energy is to meditate with a transcendence meditation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>These are the meditations,<\/strong> where you go beyond what you can perceive with your senses. You clean the slates, so to speak, like sniffing the aroma of coffee in between smelling different perfumes.<\/p>\n<p>In these types of meditations, you seek the silence in between the repetitions of a mantra or word.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This is how to do it:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Choose a short mantra<\/strong> or a word. The meaning is not important for the meditation, it\u2019s the resonance, that counts. Choose something that feels refreshing if you feel tired of working on your story or calming if you feel panicky.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sit down in a comfortable position<\/strong>. It\u2019s not important to sit in perfect lotus. Choose a position, where you can relax and won\u2019t be bothered by aches and pains. It\u2019s all about the ease!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Say the mantra silently<\/strong> in your mind. You don\u2019t need to move your lips or tongue, let the mantra come to you effortlessly, like any other thought.<\/li>\n<li>Whenever you notice you get distracted, <strong>repeat the mantra<\/strong> and look for the silence that comes just after you repeat it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If you\u2019d like to be led through a mantra meditation, <a href=\"https:\/\/nosywitty.com\/meditate-with-me-using-a-mantra\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">you can meditate with me here.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>The fertile emptiness<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When you let your senses rest, you create space for integration. This is why deep sleep is so important. We need it, so we can \u201cdigest\u201d all the information and experience we gather during the day and wake up refreshed and a little wiser every day.<\/p>\n<p>That is why when the elements of your story are there, you need to create the space for integration, letting each part find its own place.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here\u2019s to your creative success!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<h2>ABOUT THE AUTHOR<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-21025\" title=\"Veronika Magali-Marosy\" src=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/veronikaMM-headshot-300x300.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/veronikaMM-headshot-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/veronikaMM-headshot-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/veronikaMM-headshot-640x640.jpg 640w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/veronikaMM-headshot-160x160.jpg 160w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/veronikaMM-headshot-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/veronikaMM-headshot.jpg 1000w\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/>Veronika is a mother, former illustrator, meditation teacher and a recovering master procrastinator.
