Friday's Quote: Thomas Carlyle

"Every noble work is at first impossible."---Thomas Carlyle

I've been wanting to write and be published (like someone will actually pay money for my stories) for some time.  I realize that I have some stories to tell and to share.  I've been trying to write on a consistent basis, but not really following through.  My stories and attempts to write my stories may not be so noble, but it does feel impossible.  Other than being lazy, I realize that this feeling of "impossiblity" also stems from my own fears.  I realize I have to stop being so scared, especially of all the potential rejection that could happen, and just write.  So, as one of my goals this year, I will try to set aside some time each day and write, and be consistent about my writing.  I hope to follow through on this goal one hundred percent, even when I'm tired.

How about you, do you like to write and tell stories?

Anonymous, I hope that it will one day become a reality. I must say, writing is a hard thing to do. Even if I never get published, I hope to share my stories with close family members and friends.

Fear is the ultimate culprit for control and failure. Face your fears right in the eyes and you will the light.
