What causes a person to have the desire to click away on the keyboard to tell a story they have bubbling in them? When does that defined moment hit someone? Maybe, just maybe, it’s been bubbling within them for years and they finally had the courage to give it a go. To all the authors and indie authors who have the courage to tell their stories, I admire you. Every single writer has a wee bit of self-doubt in them when they first start writing. A million “what if’s” churn in the pits of our stomachs or maybe, it’s just acid and all we need is a couple of Tums… either way, to take the step to follow your dreams is admirable. At the end of the day, even if we fail to have people fall in love with our novels, at least we tried.
I don’t know about y’all, but I plan on stumbling through the process, much like a person who’s had one too many alcoholic beverages, but I’m good with that. At least I’m stumbling forward instead of standing still. Like Mr. Harry Truman said, “Imperfect action is better than perfect inaction”.
No one should sell themselves short. No one should feel like they’re just not good enough. You’re dreams are your dreams. Reach for them and tell all the naysayers to shove it. Seriously. Maybe give them a box of chocolate and they will be more optimistic. Actually, send a box over my way and I’ll definitely be more optimistic.
Look around you and find joy in the little things. The sun as its warm rays shines down on you. The gentle caress of the wind as it whispers through your hair. Live each moment as if it’s your last and continue to write the story of your life the way you envision it.
Much Love to Y’all,
Tiffany
