It was defined for me once like this....FEAR=False Evidence Appearing Real. It's not REAL. It's a trick! It's FALSE! And all it's good for is slowing us down or stopping us in our tracks...it's job is to keep us from our goal, the deep end. It's crucial to get past the fear (the things that trick us into thinking we can't make it) and, whether graceful or not, get to the other side, the deep end, the book on the shelf at the bookstore/library! And then, we do it all over again!<br /><br />Besides, swimming is fun, right?

We sometimes begin to feel that the way we choose is the best way so it is good to be reminded that there are many different routes into the water. <br /><br />The visual of all the many struggling writers tickled my fancy. It made a great movie in my head. :-)Stephanie Jones AKA Alicia Hunter Pacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03023631488715031414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018633413564074437.post-7906551207713154822012-03-27T08:48:25.249-05:002012-03-27T08:48:25.249-05:00I've had the distinct pleasure of swimming wit...I've had the distinct pleasure of swimming with sharks most of my professional life (lawyers) so taking on a swimming pool isn't as bad. Back in the eighties women lawyers weren't being hired and I had to put my head down and keep trying. I succeeded in becoming the youngest AUSA in the United States. Now when I think about getting published I fall back to my younger days and remember that nothing ventured is nothing gained. I will keep heading to that deep end.Cherylnoreply@blogger.com
