Don't let this fear bleed over into the GOOD, SUCCESSFUL aspects of your life. You are a good wife and good mom. You are also a talented blog writer! You inspire me and while I'm not an agent nor do I write contracts, if that were my job, you'd be on my team. Your body may not be cooperating but your mind and smile can! I'm sure the rest of your readers would agree, even if they don't comment.What if it's today? - A survivalist's bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06291866801645327324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5482668939889334761.post-24251417667985308142013-10-28T11:51:03.707-07:002013-10-28T11:51:03.707-07:00It is the agent's fault, and I wouldn't ta...It is the agent's fault, and I wouldn't take that as anything but his missed opportunity. Find another agent, or just write because you love it, and self-publish.<br /><br />I blog and write news/feature articles, so if you want a non-biased reader, email me. :)TiredofDramahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16707403754709621080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5482668939889334761.post-66408730520294162212013-10-28T09:27:20.357-07:002013-10-28T09:27:20.357-07:00Linda sadly the net is mt social world.

It felt like "You're a good writer but not good enough for me to make an effort." I know honestly that it is more a reflection of him and not me. I know I have skill. Writing is a natural ability for me. I just freeze now at crunch time. Now the dream is alive. But if I put it out again and fail again maybe I'm not as good as I thought. What if my reading team just loves me too much to tell me it sucks?

The only way to conquer fear is to push through it.<br /><br />I'm not a fan of heights. My DH knows this, and while we were on vacation, we were taking a walk through a state park, where they had a narrow, suspension bridge, named, "The Shaking Bridge," or some such. It goes out across a river, and once you cross it, there's no easy way back, except to go back across the bridge. My DH insisted we cross it, and wouldn't allow me to walk out halfway, turn around, and return, but rather, insisted that we cross the entire bridge and then return. I wasn't happy with him, but I did it, and it wasn't so horrible. <br /><br />I'm happy I pushed through the fear. It doesn't mean I'm ready to go out into the middle of that bridge and jump up and down, but it means that I can cross it with less trepidation next time. Push through your fears--you can do it!<br /><br />There are no failures, just new opportunities and new ways of looking at things.TiredofDramahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16707403754709621080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5482668939889334761.post-67785915502079650932013-10-27T17:44:43.684-07:002013-10-27T17:44:43.684-07:00Well, I understand being afraid.

I have many of the same fears. <br />*hugs* and God bless. I hope you find serenity. ♥LindaGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12203719919661519350noreply@blogger.com
