Mother’s Day 2022 and Creating

I celebrated Mother’s Day with my parents today, and it was a good time. Before, it was something that I felt that I could skip, but as I got older, it is something of greater importance. Mothers give birth, nurture and raise the next generation selflessly. They are creators, obviously, as they create a new life into the world, and that is something to be celebrated. It really is something of a superpower that only mothers can do.

Making a book, novel or some other form of media is the birth of a new story. Mothers create one of the ultimate stories to be told and to be lived, of course, but the creating of a new story has its ups and downs. It can be fun at times, but also a real slog at other times. There is a battle between what is in the creator’s mind and how it needs to be written on paper. Some days, the author cannot wait to write, and other days, the author must be dragged into writing. It can be very mercurial.

Despite the hardships, we create anyways. There is always a new story to be told, and a new journey to experience. It can be tough at times, awesome at other times, but worth it in the end.
