It took me a long time to realize that I was afraid to fail and my writing was suffering because of it.
I still have improvements to make, but at least I am making them.

Also, how did I not know about #myWANA? Thank you!!

All failings can be looked at as positives. It just entirely depends upon your point of view :) .

Yesterday I had a big huge list of things I wanted to get done, and only one of them ended up being started– and started poorly. It wasn’t that other things got in the way, or that something unexpected came up. I just ended up wasting the whole day. It felt awful. I let this happen to me a lot: I pile too much on my plate and then when one or two things get left off at the end I feel like I haven’t tried hard enough.

This article is helping me bolster my strength against bad days like that, and to learn what I can from them. The sun is out, the sky is blue, and another day is here for me to make what I will of it. I choose to be Damascus steel. :)

Let me explain that – I woke up this morning in a total depressive slump. I’ve been out of work now for a year and a half and battling a health problem. I have tried numerous ways to find employment, create employment, find a path, whatever. All have failed. Miserably. I sit here wondering why anyone with my education, creativity, and ability, has to go through such torture. Now I know. There are things I still need to learn. Thanks for pointing this out. I needed a direction. I needed to know that I was not alone. I needed to know how to let go and fully invest myself in my projects. Not sure I know everything about any of that, but at least I have an inkling of where to start now. Yes, I have an unfinished book. I thought I was stuck. Maybe not. You’ve given me a lot of food for thought. I need to process it and get something relevant to my own experience from it, but I can tell you now – I feel better about everything just having read your experiences. Thank you.
