Eight months ago, I sat in this chair, took out a piece of paper, and started writing an outline.
That outline became a draft, and that draft became a manuscript. With a little help from the online world, that manuscript has now become a dream – a dream undying ….
The process is daunting. It requires a lot of pain and a lot of forgiveness. We never know what we can do until we pour all we are into it – and fail. Or succeed, even. Regardless of outcome, reception, and review, I am proud of my journey.
And I am ready to face my firing squad.
Please – don’t hold back. I have no intention of going away. I will be heard. No matter how stupid what I have to say may feel. Or sound. There is always another mistake to learn from, and always another hill to crest.
Be well, fellow travellers of unkind seas. And don’t forget, when it comes to stupid, it’s always best to go big.
And then, maybe, go home.
