sound the keening bell

This questioning, this self-doubt. It has to stop. I fell asleep in the school tonight. After a meeting. I was just so tired. The unreasonable part of me thought "i'll just have a little rest on this couch, and then i will write! I will write the great american novel. I will write the best damn book proposal anyone has ever seen. I will be great. But, i am so tired. I will close my eyes just for a moment. A wee moment as my grandpa used to say."

And then. Shit! It's 12:30 and i just slept for two hours on the couch in an elementary school. No writing was done. I drove home in a panic. Expecting my poor worried husband to be sitting up for me. But, i guess i have worn him out too.

I am on this winding road, similar to the one we drive to campsites, wondering, wandering. Lost in my mental state.

If you do figure out how to stop the self doubt, and the questioning, let me know ok? I'm out of ideas.

Hmmm, what if you totally accepted the fact that the self-doubt would never change, but would in fact stay exactly the same for the rest of your life? What then? Would it be all that bad? Probably not.

If you have to do it, you might as well do it right.
