I had never thought of it in that way. What an eye-opener!

LOL<br /><br />Because logically we know that when problems crop up with can handle them...we always do. So why they scare us beforehand is a mystery. <br /><br />Which is why I think we all need to devote a few hours at the beginning of every project to think of every potential pitfall and shoot it out of the water!<br /><br />susanSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10319652591847155422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444687581793432522.post-11890000098467150382011-12-14T01:18:10.885-05:002011-12-14T01:18:10.885-05:00You bring to light so many things that I know hold...You bring to light so many things that I know hold me back as a writer. A few years ago a friend of mine told me that I was afraid of success.It wasn't until I attended my first conference that I realized I was afraid of failure and success and it can be paralyzing. Thanks for encouragement and a way out of that mindset.Lita Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02448014402956082359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444687581793432522.post-77490568168594697302011-12-13T10:39:42.200-05:002011-12-13T10:39:42.200-05:00Thanks, Tess!

I thought it was odd, after all thse years to suddenly have fears, but there they were! LOL<br /><br />So I got rid of them and actually set my goals.<br /><br />Now I'm a happy camper, ready for 2012!<br /><br />susanSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10319652591847155422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444687581793432522.post-46011719512979489432011-12-13T10:34:21.604-05:002011-12-13T10:34:21.604-05:00Oops!

LOL<br /><br />But isn't it interesting when you take a look at what you've accomplished and realized it came just when you "needed" it!<br /><br />susanSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10319652591847155422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444687581793432522.post-72892528135353351922011-12-12T09:49:42.990-05:002011-12-12T09:49:42.990-05:00This is so wonderful!

Funny, I sold my first book/series because of a "need"--to prove that I hadn't been wasting my time writing all these years instead of becoming a nuclear physicist or top notch executive LOL. I sold my second series because I needed to pay my daughter's college tuition. Interesting how that works! Now I'm trying to NEED a vacation!Peg Cochranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319534671560625590noreply@blogger.com
