I love how you've applied your favourite quote to your writing life and I have no doubt that, when you finish your book and get it published, the readers will come.

In reference to writing, I translate that to "if I write it, readers will read it." It helps me go forward past fear and halt procrastination.Enisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14618040099949009436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603806150366948575.post-48606641952576743682015-11-16T18:53:55.292+11:002015-11-16T18:53:55.292+11:00Thanks so much, Sharon!

You are very cleaver... I love all those quotes. I think fear can be a big hindrance in anything we want to do in life. I have had many people say to me "I'm too scared to try to write a book," "weren't you scared of what people would think of your book?" Yes, of course. We all have fear in different ways but its about doing it regardless of the fear...

You don't know how you'll cope with ''success'' (whatever that may be for you) until you get there. My debut book, The Farmer's Perfect Match, is to be published by Harlequin MIRA in February. I feel I've succeeded in my aim to become a published author, but I'm also suddenly very aware of the importance of promoting myself, something I've never really had to do before, and it's SCARY!
