The non-motivating factor in my life has always been fear of rejection. Here I am on the cusp of trying to promote my writing, and I'm nervous.
I have no idea how this crazy idea of mine will pan out. All I can do is cross my fingers and pray for the best. I need a springboard into the real world, and I'd love to be able to do that through my writing.
So here I am, once again facing my persistent fear of rejection. Will people like my writing? Will they appreciate my style? Do I seem personable enough? Am I trying too hard? I guess these questions will be answered in the not too distant future.
I do not want to be one of those people who ends up doing nothing with my life. I am too good at too many things to let that happen.
Here's hoping I'm motivated enough to see this thing through. If things work out I will be going live in less than a month. Am I ready to promote my baby to total strangers?
At the end of the day, I will always be writing for me. If others appreciate my writing as well, then it will bring me great joy.
Here's the promo-whore Myspace account I have set up. Now it's only a matter of getting the word out. I feel so self conscious, so small, so scared.
I've never tried anything like this before, but I'm starting to realize that only I can make myself. Nobody ever got anywhere in life without taking risks.

Hey, don't be so hard on yourself. Like you said, do it for you. I really think your writing will get somewhere. Just keep in mind, you will get those people who think differetly about your writing; but don't let that stop you. Just listen what they have to say and that's that.
