Without your year-long series regarding clearing, I would still have so much junk and clutter left behind by my husband when he left. I was sad and overwhelmed, and never dreamed I could get rid of it all. Thanks to the advice, day by day, from this course, I made progress I never dreamed was possible. Thanks again!

This post is Divine Timing! Thank you for sharing your journey. After the holidays I'm taking Draft 8 of my novel apart, writing Draft 9, and hope to start querying in the spring. I love knowing that you self published and THAT turned into a traditional deal. You just never know, but Divine Timing does (that's the subject of my post this week so I'm noticing it).

Stephanie, OMG, we share the same life philosophy! What I call lightness, you call spaciousness. Absolutely YES to everything you say here!

I am currently applying for writing grants, and about to start my second revision of a book. Both are terrifying. At the heart of my fear: rejection. The chances of being successful in getting a grant are somewhere around 18%. The chances of getting a book published...? But if I don't at least try my chances are 0! It's such hard work, but I'm keeping the faith.
