I realized in my dance class on Sunday that somewhere along the line, this fun amazing class that I looked forward to going to every chance I could – had turned into a source of fear. <\/p>\n

My plot wall has taken on the same connotations. I stare out at it and where I use to see possibilities and exciting scenes\u2026I begin to freak out at the possibility of writing them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u201d aren\u2019t kidding when they say fear is a huge factor in letting success pass you by. I don\u2019t know who \u201cthey\u201d are\u2026but I\u2019m sure they are out there and I\u2019m sure they say it.<\/p>\n
