I know it's not wise to say "never," because once you say you'll never do something, that's exactly what you'll end up doing. So when I say I'll probably never get stuck in a rut in my life, that's surely going to happen. That said, however, it won't be easy for the rut. I get bored easily. I don't like to stay in one place, or look one particular way, for very long at a time.Labels: change, getting out of ruts, new genres

Colleen Coble writes romantic suspense with a strong atmospheric element. A lovable animal of some kind--usually a dog--always populates her novels. She can be bribed with DeBrand mocha truffles.
Denise Hunter writes women's fiction and love stories with a strong emotional element. Her husband says he provides her with all her romantic material, but Denise insists a good imagination helps too.
Diann Hunt writes romantic comedy and humorous women's fiction. She has been happily married forever, loves her family, chocolate, her friends, chocolate, her dog, and well, chocolate.
Cheryl Hodde writes romantic medical suspense under the pen name of Hannah Alexander, using all the input she can get from her husband, Mel, for the medical expertise. For fun she hikes and reads. Out of guilt, she rescues discarded cats. She and Mel are presently taking orders from four pampered strays.

I like to try new adventures! I love to travel and meet different people. But I'm scared to change things like hair. LOL Even with hairstyles, I'm a weenie.
Now that's unbelievable, Colleen. YOU afraid of ANYTHING? LOL. You'd look great in any hairstyle. Besides, if you get it cut short, it'll grow out quickly.
I've change careers, more than once, and it was scary each time. I went from almost 15 years as a police dispatcher/supervisor to a billing associate with a telecom business. I loved my job but after five years, the office closed & I was left looking another job, so I went into the unknown again, this time ending up working for a general aviation aircraft title & escrow company and from there to my present location, which is a mortgage company! Each change was from necessity rather than choice & each change took me out of my comfort zone and into new territory for me. It's only been through God's strength that I've made each change with the success that I have.

I know change is good,
but i don't like it !
my middle name is chicken
I've changed careers several times in my life, as well. My favorite is working with numbers (and, jel, I never like change, either. Not learning a new job). My very favorite job was as a proof operator at a bank, where I ran every single transaction of the day through a huge calculating machine to balance the bank. Punching numbers mindlessly all day long, getting the numbers to balance at the end of each teller's run. Now that's all automated, sadly.
I hate change! But I've had plenty of it the past few years. Change can be a good thing--if we learn and grow from it.
Routine is boring, right? :-)
one of the jobs that i had I really liked was bee~in a presser for Lee jeans,
what i'm doing now can't be beat,
I've gone though alot of changes. and will go though many more, ;)
routine can bee a good thing too, esp for some people,
Yeah, Diann, routine is boring. But sometimes, I long for a boring day, when nothing is wrong, everything is working, and I don't have any challenges.
Jel, what you're doing now is awesome, if you're talking about the photography.
The more I read your posts, the more I find in common with you. LOL.(Especially the writing aspect.) I get bored so easily and was just doing this very thing--trying to figure out what to focus on with manuscripts on my computer. I signed up for workshops at ACFW and already am wondering if I did the right thing!
And I love to change my hair/hairstyles, but my husband gets upset if I change the style and color. Sigh.
I think we have a lot in common, Crystal. And you can tell your husband that at least you're never boring. Mel tells me that a lot.
