I did something today that at the same time scared and exilarated me. I joined a writing community. A non fan fiction writing community.
I'm frightened. I know I shouldn'tbe but..I am. Why? I can do this I know I can so..why the trepadation when I set my fingers to the keys to do the prompt.
Am I afraid of leaving my safety zone? I felt this way the very first time I sent in a poem to a contest, the first fan fiction I wrote, my first post here on LJ. You'd think I would be over this wouldn't you?
I don't feel this fear when I work on my book, so why am I so afraid of trying this?
Breathe...just breathe..I know I can take the first step..the first word.
I have taken my first step, the words have begun to take on life in my file. I can do this. I WILL do this. In my soul I am a writer and the words are there waiting to burst from my finger tips.
One more breath and now I can make my story tell its self, the fear of the unknown still lurks but I will go forth with courage and hope that more souls will enjoy my words.
