Love and Risk.

It is harder to risk yourself on the things you love, yes?

Like, emailing an article into a magazine and saying, "I love this. You should read it. I wrote it."

I'm not feeling the pressure to 'be published' at all...moreso, I felt like it was high-time that I put myself onto a level of sharing my writing with the masses in order to challenge myself to be better.

So I have left the land of comfort, confidently and nervously, and put myself out there with my writing.

And the whole process of it was very eye-opening--like, I learned that when I write for the audience and not for myself, I lose my voice. Interessant. Fortunately Suz and Renee know my voice well enough to point me back to the drawing board.
