		<description>Love this killer post. These 3 steps will be amazingly effective at re-centering my personal state into a creative focus. 

Writing for myself is like pulling deeply embedded thorns out of my skin. Relief for me, but not much help to others. Focusing on the story and contribution to others makes it all work.

Regarding stories, here&#039;s what John Carlton shares, &quot;People love a wicked good tale, and will buy from the dude that tells them one.”

		<description>As a newbie writer, I sure feel intimidated at times even if it is as simple as essay writing.  But, I do try to appreciate myself better and look at the brighter side that maybe, just maybe, someone will find my writing as something worth reading.  Thanks for the nice post</description>

		<description>I&#039;m amazed at how simple it really is.  When I read your opening paragraph I found myself getting a bit emotional.  Because I know exactly what you&#039;re talking about.  That critical, internal editor that I have playing non stop paralyzes me from just sitting down and doing what I&#039;ve wanted to do my entire life - write.

I am fifty-one years old.  Or at least, that&#039;s how old my body is. :)  There is a writer in me that has been screaming to get out for years.

Every time I read a post like this I&#039;m ready to to kick butt.

thanks.

		<description>@WFU: Many people feel that way in the beginning, I know I did. But one day you wake up and you realize there&#039;s nothing to be afraid of.

If you enjoyed this post, you&#039;ll enjoy the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.jcme.ca&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;series&lt;/a&gt; we had on our old blog which explores all the other fears that go along with writing.</description>
