Write Through The Fear

I’ve wanted to be an author since I was six years old. Words are a way so sooth my anxiety. They keep the world from spinning too quickly and somehow, they make me feel a little less small.

Feelings have a way of showing themselves when they’re scooped from a pile of letters and thrown into sentences. While my life is unlike many in that I’ve faced a few speed bumps through the seasons, I’ve always thought that if I could just get them into the world, maybe, just maybe they could help someone else feel a little less small, too.

Last year I lobbed my intentions into a Facebook group full of creatives, entrepreneurs, and friends. Because, man, if I could just be brave enough to write a real book, I could do anything.

As luck would have it, Dr. Frame called two minutes later delivering a plot twist on a platter. Oh, you need a book topic, here’s one.

So like the time I jumped out of a perfectly good airplane knowing I was fiercely afraid of heights, I’m going to face my fears head on and write every single day of October.

I can either avoid pink month, aka breast cancer awareness month, like the plague or face it head on and write through the fear.

So, friends, I’m doing it.

I’m going to write about every single thing that scared me to life.
