What if the sky is too blue and the birds are chirping too harmoniously and the porch is calling for me to sit on it with a novel? What if news is breaking in the world and it needs me to pay attention? What if I need to reorganize my kitchen or wash my hair? How will I ever eliminate all those distractions that push the work off until tomorrow?
Hi Meta. One of my fears is what if the 3rd book in my series is too miserable for the happy-go-lucky feel of the first two. Some difficult stuff happens in it and I don't want to water it down to make it lighter or the traditional happy ever after. It does end with joy but via a lot of heartache. But I know I have to be true to my story!
Thanks to all of you for contributing. I've given this topic tons of thought, but hearing your perspectives has given me some new insights!
What if after a life time of doing something else, I discovered I had a great talent for writing after all :(
What if:
There is the possibility of greatness
… but you fear mediocrity
… so you never try?
Asking for a friend :-)
Ha! I'm glad your "friend" is in on the discussion. 😂
What if my writing takes off? Am I really ready for that? Of course, but OH MY!
What if I never write my book?
Wow, these are all so honest and real and specific to you (yet shared by so many others). Keep 'em coming!
What if what I write isn't good enough? What if the reader doesn't "get it?"
