You Just Have to Do It

Stop Waiting for Somebody to Do It For You

No one else will.

That’s what I found out. Not just recently either, but sometimes these little bits of wisdom take a long time to sink in with me.

In July, I published my first book on Amazon KDP — YAY ME!!!! To say I’m excited is an understatement. It’s been a long time coming.

I’ve been writing since I was about seven years old. I always knew I was a writer; it’s what God gifted me to do. I can do other things as well, but writing is my sweet spot.

If you ask me a point blank question, I’m pointedly blank.

I can’t answer it to save my life! Unless you give me paper and pen or a computer, then I can wax poetic and pull from my personal vault of knowledge until I give an answer which would confound a scholar.

Literally.

But I’m a wordsmith and I always have been. It’s a craft and it’s been honed for several decades now.

Still. Even though I wrote the book below about four years ago, it’s taken me THAT long to publish it.

Why?

Because I stumble through life without a clue and I always have.
