I just submitted some writing that was proving to be more of a challenge than I initially anticipated.
It gave me a headache.
It frustrated me.
It shook my self-confidence.
Until tonight.
When I had a breakthrough and finished writing.
I think it was because I persevered.
It was also because I wanted to prove that I can do hard things.
And, maybe more importantly, I was because I wrote in the company of other teacher-writers in our #Time2Write group.
I submitted my writing and now the waiting begins.
But no matter the outcome. I’m proud of myself.
I stuck with it.
I made my writing sing. At least, I think I did and in the big scheme of things, that’s all that matters.
If someone else agrees, then that’s just lagniappe.
