We fall down, but we get up!

Okay, so I took a tumble yesterday and I'm in horrible, excrutiating pain.  But I'm still here.  The doctor says bruised rib, so no laser tag for my birthday like I planned.  BUT, I'm still here.  I'm still counting down to my 37th birthday.  I'm still working.  I still have a book coming out in the fall.  Oh, and I finished my edits.  YAY!

That song is so true:  we fall down, but we GET UP! 

On another note, I got a brilliant idea for a new romance.  I hope to start working on it once I finish The Affair.  It's my first venture into paranormal, so wish me luck. 

I'm a Water Walker

You cannot discover oceans unless you have the courage to leave the shore!

So, I'm almost done with edits.  And I suddenly felt fear of the unknown.  I was speaking with a close friend of mine (more like a sister) and we were talking about fear.  Sure, the sane part of me knows that you can't let fear dictate choice.  But the insane part of me is letting fear do just that. 

It's time for me to step into the deep end and not be afraid to drown....or even leave the shore. 

What are your fears?  Is there something you feel you have to do, but are afraid of jumping into it?

Motivation

On my iPod:  Motivation by Kelly Rowland
On my Kindle:  Sweet Little Lies by Michele Grant

Okay...so I need a little motivation.  Can't seem to get that song out of my head and it definitely helps that my fav, Busta is on the remix. 

And my poor Kindle has been neglected, so I haven't been able to finish Sweet Little Lies, although what I've read so far is great.  Believe me, she has created the ultimate man in her character, Steven.  I can't wait to read more.   

Unfortunately, I'm still editing Never Scared.  Hopefully, I'll be done within the next week.  And then, maybe I'll be inspired to finish my other projects.  I'm giving myself an 'editing' deadline of August 12th, which is the day my daughter's friends will descend on my house for her birthday.  6 screaming girls will definitely zap my energy for a while.
