I finished my job at the library yesterday. It was completely hectic right up to the minute I left so I didn’t have any time to contemplate my leaving.
Today once I’ve dropped M at school I will come home. It will be very quiet. I will have nowhere I have to be until 2.30pm.
I am knackered. I’m a bit scared. I’m not going to expect too much of myself today….and I’m going to try not to freak out.
I have never walked away from a job without something to go on to before. This decision is an investment in myself and my writing. I really hope it pays off! (I don’t mean financially, although that would be nice, too.)
It took me much longer than I intended to get my first book finished, nearly ten years! I’m determined the next book/s won’t take so long. I’m aiming to have two books done by the end of 2013. Wish me luck!
Here’s some quotations I like about courage/fear:
“Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear.”
-James Neil Hollingworth
“Most of our obstacles would melt away if, instead of cowering before them, we should make up our minds to walk boldly through them.”
-Orson Swett Marden
“The bravest thing you can do when you are not brave is to profess courage and act accordingly.”
Luck, luck, luck. Lovely to hear that you are going to be gentle with yourself today in what’s likely to be a touch of shock and grief before the excitement and creativity burst forward again. May you be richly rewarded.
