I am really starting to believe that I will after first I practice and learn more about that end of the craft about which I know very little.

In August and September 2012 I would go running barefoot on the beach in Florida before dawn. I worked my way up to 3 miles or more. My counselor said something about me running a marathon one day. I scoffed. When I got home I stopped running but then started again in April 2014. By September of that year I ran my first half marathon (and at a 7:40/mi pace) and in March 2015 I did run a marathon. Recently I thought about how my 2012 scoff at the thought of me ever running a marathon was a limiting belief that I easily got past a few years later. I see writing a book as the same. I will write a novel one day but it won't happen overnight. I need to build up my creative writing muscles and stamina just as I did with running.

So, then there is the teacher in me. How do I employ that innate skill to earn a living in the meantime? I am not asking you for the answer. Just putting my thoughts down for the universe to read.
