Baby Steps

I have grown leaps and bounds since I started teaching over a decade ago (that sounds like it is sooo long!) I have learned that I do not know everything. In fact, there is much I do not know. I have learned to better accept criticism (though I do not think it is ever easy.) 

With that, I finally (years in the making) submitted my first manuscript for critique. This was HUGE for me. I've always wanted to be a writer. I even wrote about wanting to be a writer here! To turn over my story to a reader felt like I was telling my biggest secret. I know it sounds silly, but our stories are personal, private. This one has lived only in my head, my journal, and at bedtime when I share it with my little guy. 

I did it though. I pressed send and there was no turning back. 

So I wait

and wait

and wait.

Not sure what to expect, but ready! Sad to have waited so long, but proud nonetheless~for I have taken a baby step toward one day become a published author!

So here's to baby steps and here's to writing and here's to following your dreams and here's to great stories!
