It is only the second week of the New Year and already (or should I say once again) I am feeling like I’m having twinges of doubt about being successful. I am sure it is only because I am literally a week away (6 days to be more exact) from the debut of my new online magazine and I am nervous on many different levels about it. I am sure that it is just the devil trying to get in my ear and discourage me from actually releasing it because of all of my uncertainty but I have put it off long enough already (in large part due to the devil whispering to my subconscious) and I don’t intend to do that any longer.
When I talked to Ms. L. last night about it I told her that it was far from the perfection that I want it to be and that I wasn’t sure I could get it to be perfect by next Tuesday, she reminded me that it probably won’t be when it’s released and that there may be kinks that still need to be worked out but that I just have to do it and make the adjustments as I continue along. She reminded me of what I already know and continually have to remind myself which is that shooting for perfection is what tends to keep me from just getting things done.
We all get a little nervous when venturing out into some new territory and even though writing isn’t new to me, having a magazine all my own to manage and having to make sure everyone (or at least the vast majority) will love it is new and it’s fun, but most of all it’s nerve wracking. I think I would bite my nails off if I had any left to bite off. I do have a strong feeling that this is the right direction for me and that this is the right time for me to be doing it.
