I was always waiting to do that. Waiting until I was ready, till my work was ready, till I was "perfect". This journal has shown me I don't need to be perfect. I can offer the world something just by being myself.
In Stephen King's book "On Writing", he recounted how he used to send out his work even when he was in school, and how he'd tack all his rejection letters up on a nail on the wall. I, on the other hand, would send out something once in a blue moon, get a rejection letter and stick my head back in the sand. That would explain why I have a ton of stuff written but nothing published. That's what I get for being a scaredy cat.
But no more. When the roll calls on my life I want the picture to be smiling because I have found my place, my meaning, what I was put on this earth to do. If God truly gave me this talent to reach the world, then I want to reach it.
So like Pink sang, "If God is a DJ, then life is a dance floor. You get what you're given, it's all how you use it."
On a dietary note, I survived the first day of Blast Off Week. My head only spun around once, which I think is pretty good. I may or may not ride the bike tonight. I may make Sunday my "rest" day just because my work schedule is so crazy. Maybe just surviving the first day of a strict diet is enough to torture my body with today. Because I gotta tell you, a hot bath really sounds a lot better right now.

I just finished reading, On Writing by Stephen King and was thinking about writing in my journal about it. I found it extremely motivational. I especially love the part where he says that if you write three pages a day -- even if you take Sundays off -- you'll have a novel in about three months.
