Today I'm blogging at the Romance Writer's Revenge about overcoming our writing fears and acting on our heroic urges. Here's a little tidbit from "Be the Heroine of Your Story":
What would we do if we read a book where the heroine complains that it’s too hard to go after her goal, or she’s too afraid, or that she doesn’t have time to pursue her dreams? We’d break our arm hurling that book across the room. And then we’d pick it up with the bones poking through the skin to throw it again.
It’s time to be the heroine of OUR story. This is our only shot at it. We can’t revise the past, or edit the outcome, but we can create the day-to-day aspects, deciding what it is we will do with our ration of 24 hours. It won’t be easy, but what else in your daily life is easy? I’ll guess it’s usually the stuff that bores the crap out of you.
You know you have heroic qualities, but so few opportunities to actually use them. But now you can.
Stop by to read the rest of the post, or to comment on how you handle the obstacles so you are the heroine of your story.
Heading over to check out the full post, Donna! Sounds fun!
