Let this quote inspire your writing “The scariest moment is always just before you start." ― Stephen King

I didn’t know this quote existed before today, but it seems that I’ve lived my life according to it.
I think of so many times I’ve tried not to think too much about something and gone in, feet or headfirst, knowing if I gave it too much thought I would talk myself out of it.

The biggie was leaving home. Not just home, my brothers, friends, my house but my country. Huge decision made and executed in three months. Scary as hell.

Abseiling. I was the first to go when asked, “so who’s going first?” That would be because if I left it and watched others do it first then I would talk myself out of it.

Scuba diving: same scenario.

I think the most scared I’ve been in recent years of beginning something new was when I joined my local writing group. I thought I didn’t belong there. Everyone was better than I was. Who was I kidding?

Yes life is scary, but we need to take a big breath and just Do It.
