narley ninja golden eagle!

Today's ninja is one who soars on eagle wings--Golden Eagle! Eagle wrote about Meditation, and how she stays grounded through all the ups and downs of writing . . .

I try to establish a balance, so I'm not at extremes. When it comes to writing--or any other project--I focus on what I want to do and what I plan to achieve; either in the long or short term. If it's the long term, then I try to figure out the steps I need to take to reach that goal, and if it's the short term, I compare that to the overall picture and attempt to determine just how important it is.

♥ ali ~ I often make huge goals for myself that can very quickly become overwhelming--I've found the only way to manage these complicated tasks, including writing a book, is to break it down. Plus, it makes me feel good when I reach those milestones! How do you find balance when facing a daunting task?

The Golden Eagle is the nome-de-plume of a teenage Chinese-American girl who loves to write, read, learn, and blog, among other things. Her favorite genre to read and write is Science Fiction (and its sub-genres) with a little Fantasy to the side now and then. She has officially been writing since September of 2009, after reading a book that isn't one of her favorites; it inspired her to write something she wanted to read. Her current project is a SF/Dystopian novel about a girl, a boy, a junkyard, and the ultimate goal of a man in power to rule the planet.

Eagle keeps one of the most interesting blogs around--you can expect posts on everything from science, to books, to writing . . . just about anything that interests her! AND she manages to make all these topics interesting to her readers too (sometimes a not-so-easy task!)! You can find her blog here.
