I am very pleased right now to be sitting in a clean, organized, sorted room. Now that might not seem like a big deal to you, but you see last week I decided to go through my whole room, including dumping out junk drawers, etc… And then soon after I started, we began a huge project at work, and that consumed all of my time, which left me with a messy room that was very detrimental to my inspiration streak. It’s clean now, though, so I’m good.

Having everything clean again is making me very happy, because I have a ton of editing that I still need to do (basically, I’ve barely started), and it’s so much easier to edit in a clean room. Probably because I’m not looking around, telling myself that I should be working on something else. I’ve also found that editing in the middle of the night is a good way to stay focused. There isn’t much going on (around here at least) at 2:00 or 3:00 a.m. Sometimes I just randomly wake up hours after I’ve gone to sleep and I get an hour or so of editing done then, and sometimes I just stay up late.
So, you might be wondering by now what all of that ^ has to do with the title of this post Burn The Boats, and that actually goes along with the movie that I have uploaded below. It’s one of those stories that really inspired me when I first heard it. I hope y’all like it!
HA! That story in the video was really good. You're right it does inspire me to “burn the boat” and get the treasure.
Having a clean working space is helpful to me too, speaking of which…I'd better get on cleaning up my work space!
Nice post:)

I will have to watch that video soon! Like your room! Good writing space, it tis. 🙂 I write at the computer, quick edit at the computer, and do the rest on my window seat that over looks the road cutting through the countryside. I have a lot of editing to do as well. I first do a quick edit, where I fix the things I easily find and straighten out loose ends. Then I let others read. If they think it's any good, I do a big edit, maybe rewrite the whole thing. Something new I hope to start is reading it aloud on a tape recorder. Heard you can catch a lot when reading it out loud! 🙂

Wow, he is a good story teller! And that story was certainly interesting. I can see why that inspires you!
Is that man a Christian? Cause he had some good opportunity to weave in a gospel message there! 🙂
This man reminds me of another man and story I really like, and has changed many lives. I try to share it, because it is so good. If you ever have an hour, here is something to watch if you haven't!
