Try Something Different

A few weeks back,
I talked about
how I had signed up
to do a piece of writing
I had no experience with.

I have since submitted that story
to my editor.
My editor loves it.
She loves it so much
that she has suggested I write the sequel
BEFORE seeing the numbers
on this first story.

This was the story
I considered bailing on
because it was too different for me.
Now it could possibly be a career maker.

It is okay to be afraid
to try something different.
I was afraid.
It pushed me to work harder
and to get advice
and to deliver my A-Game.

It is not okay
to let this fear stop you.
Try something different.
