Oh, why hello there again.

I never was a girl that was into horses. When I was a child, I equated them with things like make-up and liking the color purple. Horses were something that those girls liked, and I was not a girly girl. But now I am going to use that tired saying of "getting back on that proverbial horse". So, I am going to shop my writing around and try to get some legit publishing work. I needed to get over a couple of things. Money being one of the primary reasons. I have had to maintain full time employment in a field I love, food, but is also very tiring. While I have always maintained a writing life, I have not had the energy to really invest in editing quality pieces. This leads into the main hurdle, my confidence. I have had struggles with my confidence. I just do not think I am good enough, and when I briefly do I start feeling like an egotist. But I am getting better. First step was turning 30. Yes, it is magical, and I have found myself doing things like saying, "No." and sticking up for myself...even to myself. I have also tried doing more workshops. I do not know why we value strangers' opinions more than those close to us, but we do. And while I have had positive feedback in the past, having strangers tell me the same just left me realizing that I could not figure out any other motives than they really enjoyed my writing. So, here it goes, and yippee ki-yay Mister Falcon.
