Hi Emma. I came across this quotation that seems apposite: "Writers are not just people who sit down and write. They hazard themselves. Every time you compose a book your composition of yourself is at stake." E. L. Doctorow Graham Storrs’s last blog post..What Is The Future Of Publishing?

@ Melodee – this made me laugh. And you’re entirely right, it is just a matter of doing it!

@ Joely – Oh yes, wobbly ladder time. I’ve been clinging to it, up one rung at a time for such a long time feeling alone, but now I have met you guys, that fog is a bit less scary.

@Diana – We just work in different materials, but we come from the same place, you and I. That’s a great responsibility you give me, I will do my best. And yes, this can only be done by me, just as those beautiful creations could only have been made by you.

Thanks for your support everyone!

Yes, the fear of success, the fear of flying. I can understand that completely. Yet you let go, little by little. It feels so uncomfortable, doesn't it, climbing a rickety ladder into a fog.

Ahh, that horrid fear of success!

I have a feeling that you can handle it. Now get your butt in gear and do it!
