Challenge 2: Write a chapter in my book

January 14, 2010

So yesterday was "start this blog" and I did that.  But right after, I panicked at the thought that I'd actually have to follow through on something.  And what's bad is that I was already mocking up the post, 364 days from now, explaining why I didn't follow through or accomplish what I sought out to accomplish.  I realized then that I have to change my mind-frame about it.  That I'll never get what I want if I think it's un-gettable.  If the amount of money seems to high or the dream seems too big.  I'm not sure, exactly how I'm going to switch my thinking, but I think it must happen.  A crucial piece of the pie.  

I woke up this morning just knowing what my challenge had to be.  I've been talking about writing a book for over 7 years now.  It's time I start actually writing it.  Today, chapter 1.  

I'm in a pretty ideal place for writing, on a comfy couch staring out the floor to ceiling wrap-around windows of Vaughn's parents lake house.  It's snowy and cold-looking outside, but it warm and blankety inside.  

Tea by my side...I begin.

Today: Chapter 1 of my book
