Fears that come from your writing
Today I started feeling some fears about my new book and the final edits. So I decided to write some six word memoirs. See mine below. Share whatever fears you have that come from your writing in six words.
Storms come.Tears pour. Exposed vulnerabilities.
Why am I so scrared now?
Am I about to self sabatoge?
The answer is surrender right now.
I let go and sit with fears.
I see them as they are.
I welcome them into my heart.
I keep sitting without an agenda.
I just sit without running away.
The lesson is to just be.
Just get in down on paper.
Mind to keys, paper, truth, eyes.
Use your words, use your words.
I LOVE that one. Been feeling that way myself lately!
My dreams become stories, not reality
My characters are my only friends
Always seeing stories in my head.
Always seeking plots that sell big.
Always moaning about time too short.
Always fearing to see the end.
Words to live by. Love them.
Is my authenticity relevant to others?
Does it matter if it isn´t?
I could fix a brilliant manuscript.
Poetry hasn't made money for centuries.
What about the memoir bottled inside?
Maybe my life isn't that special.
I have a lot to offer.
Perhaps I'm afraid of the rejection.
Never will know until I try.
Write a book - who, me? No!
Why me? Why not me, really?
Need to shoot my own demons
Then the pen shall be free.
