<p>Hi everybody,</p>
<p>I haven&#8217;t written here in a few days but I have been writing. I&#8217;m working on a book. I think I&#8217;ve mentioned it previously. I&#8217;ve fought a lot of negative thoughts in getting to the point of starting the book. One of the biggest was that my story wasn&#8217;t compelling enough. Who would buy this? Who would pick it up and find it the least bit interesting, compelling, heartwarming, or inspiring?</p>
<p>Silly devil, you had to know I&#8217;d figure you out sooner or later. Dude, God&#8217;s on my side. That means you lose every time!</p>
<p>Another thing holding me back was just the opposite of thinking my story wouldn&#8217;t be good enough. What&#8217;s going to happen if this takes off? What if people really are touched by it? What happens next? Can I handle it? I&#8217;ve been successful before. My services have been in demand before. What happened after success came? Let&#8217;s put it this way &#8211; you know the saying, &#8220;Everyone gets promoted to their level of incompetence?&#8221; That was me and I didn&#8217;t want to go back there.</p>
<p>Imagine having both sides of the coin as your internal conflicts. Gives new meaning to the phrase, &#8220;Damned if you do and damned if you don&#8217;t.&#8221; How can I be afraid it won&#8217;t be any good and afraid it&#8217;ll be too good all at the same time? The devil again. He&#8217;s a clever bastard. Enough of him. He&#8217;s only a problem if I let him be one&#8230;</p>
<p>So three nights last week, I wrote. I didn&#8217;t set the world on fire with quantity, and probably not quality either, but I did it. Good for me. Time not to worry about who will like it, who won&#8217;t or what will happen down the road. It&#8217;s time to write&#8230;</p>
<p>God bless,</p>
