@Terry Shepherd TOO FUNNY!
A lot of people want the result. Very few are willing to earn it.
Wishing won’t change your life. Talking about it won’t change your life. Wanting it badly isn’t enough. The difference is in the work. The early mornings. The discipline. The consistency when nobody is watching. If it matters to you, stop hoping for it and start building it.

Consistency wins a day. All the time and on all topics. It's not about huge effort but about small effort over time. I call that playing a long game.

Today's Editing Workshop has 8 people registered, and I'm fired up for it. I've been editing for 25 years, but this is my first class teaching someone else to do it. Many thanks to @Mary Buchanan for requesting it. So great having friends that stretch you.

Today's Question: What's your biggest fear as an author—and have you found a way to conquer it? No tricks, just honest answers! And who knows? Sharing our fears might help another author face theirs. Happy Halloween, fellow authors!

@Darlene Fuchs Yes, it feels like watching your teenager pull away in a car for the first time. OMG

I actually have two fears: 1. finding a glaring typo after publishing 2. negative feedback that is something I missed and should have known. I truly dread those forehead-tapping moments.
