Intro

This is about my journey to becoming an author. I want to journal my progress towards my ultimate dream.

I've spent too long wishing and wanting and now is the time to get real and do something about it - instead of just thinking about it.

So what am I going to do today? Well, it's easy for me to procrastinate that's for sure. I could begin organizing what I have done so far (meaning all my work I've created)-- again. Or I could look at what I have written and think about what I'm going to do -- again. But I won't.

No, I've got to step out of my comfort zone and face my fears. Although I'm not sure which fears they are (meaning fear of failure or fear of success), I do fear something. I believed for awhile that it was fear of exposing my true identity - my true thoughts. And maybe that is true. Whatever the reason, I just have to put my work out there because time keeps moving along and I've been stuck in a quasi-reality of allowing my fears to dictate my life.

So, I pose the question again, what am I going to do today to get closer to attaining my goals of publishing my writing and earning a living writing?

... I'm thinking.

... Still thinking.

... Now my nerves are getting the best of me and I'm trembling inside. But why?

What is causing me to feel this way? I know I'm a good writer, so what's the problem? I'm going to have to think more about this to try to figure out what is going on...

For now, the journey must begin today. I'm going to have to take baby steps, but I will get there.
