Today’s blog:  Dare to cross   

I neither look back  nor look for a hand.  I know what lies before me.  Twilight sets in and darkness ensues.  I cling to the map which guides me.

The path is well-worn though I travel alone.  I know many have journeyed before me.  I follow the path and weather the wind, the bumps and snags  impede me.

With open hand, I take from the man, a map to guide and direct me. On this journey alone, at a fork in the road, I let not fear betide me.

Darkness descends where one journey ends,  and then it appears before me.  It swings and it sways, unsteady and frayed,  a ramshackle bridge to slow me.  I stop and it’s clear, the voices I hear – the voices I know are true.

“Come,” they say.  “It will be okay.  We made it and you will, too.”

They continue to call; they beckon with care.  In fear, I count the cost.

“Come,” they say.  “It will be okay.”   I step out and dare to cross.

Ready or not…

Will you dare to cross?  Will you cross the bridge?  Is your story ready for the next step – publishing?

Yes, writing a book is a journey.  Discipline keeps it priority.

And, now you face a new challenge – getting  published.

Share how you moved forward – how you dared to cross the bridge and step into the world of  publishing.

Meanwhile, know your story matters.

Sunshine and rainbows!
