Hey! Look at me! I’m GREAT at this!

January 24, 2011

ShareI’ve been quiet lately. But not stuck. (Opposite of stuck, actually.) I’ve been writing like crazy. Now that I’ve figured out my Thing, I have *lots* to say. I’ve been pondering how to say it.

ShareIn honour of Halloween…I’m going to share something that took me years of effort and thousands of dollars to discover: To get unscared, you need to do the stuff you’re afraid of. That’s it.
