I thought I was finished and had decided to do one more before sending it out to my CP. Glad I did. STILL finding crap to change. Half way through now. I also wanted to get a head start on my A-Z posts. HA. I am leaving for Florida and I will be busy for a while down there. SO WHEN will I get to it? I have five days. LOL.<br /><br />I hope to at least have the edits done. AND I hope I have internet access in April. Where I am staying may not. Here's hoping. LOL<br /><br />I hope the next three weeks are super productive for you.Michael Di Gesuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17047267262428143113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466797836225520430.post-20280318441148450202013-03-08T19:41:58.596-08:002013-03-08T19:41:58.596-08:00My dear, I think you've spent way too much tim...My dear, I think you've spent way too much time on that list. It boils down to you have too many fears! Trust in your spirit and do it. I do have to say that so far every goal I try to set go by the way side. I need to take my own advice and just do it... one day at a time.

I have backtracked to this posting. Th...Hi Elise,<br /><br />I have backtracked to this posting. Then again, I was going to procrastinate about leaving a comment and submit it some other time. <br /><br />I believe, based on what I've read in your list, that the driving force in your heart embraces the passion, the belief that is your writing. Indeed, don't set unrealistic goals and go step by step, in workable parts. With each small goal worked on, the ultimate goal, your dream, can be the wondrous reality you so desire. I write without pressure, no expectations. Perhaps bizarrely, my insecurity is fear of success. We all must challenge ourselves and get out of the uncomfortable comfort zone.<br /><br />Keep going, Elise and happy, fulfilling writing to you.<br /><br />Your friend,<br /><br />Gary :)klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466797836225520430.post-50601304724333753572013-03-07T07:50:41.610-08:002013-03-07T07:50:41.610-08:00Hope you've got a move on!Hope you've got a move on!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00081704224923965102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466797836225520430.post-504135038399545022013-03-07T04:28:08.281-08:002013-03-07T04:28:08.281-08:00Natasha said it best.
