We all face moments in our lives, when we are not sure HOW we will accomplish what we are setting out to do. I was contacted by a literary agent in New York that feels I have a relevant story to tell. She has asked me for a 50 page proposal on a potential book, due in about a week and a half. I felt 100% confident on embarking on this, until I sat down at the computer to start. My insecurities flared up. There has always been a pink elephant inside of myself that stood for a weak mind. Stupidity is a self imposed barrier I have placed between myself and accomplishment. At this very moment in my life I am having to face it... square on... and instead of a nice pink elephant it appears more like a ferocious grizzly bear. Facing it is scaring me. I have never been one to back down though. I am facing that bear with all of the energy of my soul. I will tame and ride that bear. Facing him alone is terrifying, but I know that God is behind me. If he is for me? WHO can be against me? I've GOT THIS! Is my mantra right now. Believing in THIS miracle of being able to write a book has been a constant battle. But I will overcome my OWN insecurities. This book WILL be written! The outcome of how it will be received is out of my hands. BUT it will be accomplished. SUPER POWERS ENGAGE! :)
Very ferocious, but oh so exciting, too. Write on...
ReplyDeleteThanks you :)
DeleteJamie, I don't know if you knew that I worked several years in editing before I went back for my master's degree. If you have any questions or are ever feeling stuck I'd be happy to lend an ear. Maybe make up for those months I was your VT but was pregnant and so sick and couldn't visit you ;). I think people will be drawn to how genuine you are and it will come together great!
ReplyDeleteHI! So good to hear from you! Thanks so much for your encouragement, and offer. I will let you know if I need more help. Ps you were a GREAT VT :)
DeleteJamie, I felt compelled to write you a comment after reading this latest post. I have been reading this blog probably since day 1 or 2 of your accident. I came across it from someone who posted your story on Facebook and was asking for prayers. I immediately came to this blog and have been following your recovery. You are truly a miracle and MUST share your story of recovery and your new journey to help people. You are one tought cookie that's for sure. You have to write this book, well so I can buy the book, LOL!! Don't worry, it will all come together when you are ready to sit down and right. I feel you will be guided by a higher power on what to write. Take care!!
