First Impressions
« on: August 03, 2020, 10:59:39 PM »
I took a look at the pic and froze. I felt a sense of panic and my internal dialogue, "I can't do this." I took some deep breaths and convinced myself that I am now fifty and can take risks. 'What else could go wrong.'

Early this year my goal was to submit something twice a month. I am now brave enough to tell you all that I have received 10 rejections. Looking back at the first crazy seven months of 2020, my fears, neurosis, etc. cannot be compared with what we are all going through in our beautiful world.

I have so much to learn. I am conquering my fears and putting my all into WIM.

Oh goodness, I feel this mood so hard. My first round of Writer In Motion I was freezing at everything and terrified to finish the project.

But I can tell you that after just one season, that fear goes away. And no matter what, you're going to find an amazing story in there. I'm so glad you decided to join us!  :heart:

You're not alone! I love that you're pushing yourself and doing something new, something hard. I froze at the first and second rounds of WIM as well! Something will come out, I know it, and I'm eager to read what shape it takes on!
