I love it, it's great to mix things up!" But really, I'm not big on it. For certain things anyways. I don't mind moving so much. I like going to new cities and new houses. But when it comes to changes in my personal life, yeah...I'm not such a fan, I think :) Awesome post!Michelle McLeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08730366330276974943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8429961999468918859.post-7023121088344248602009-10-30T09:51:10.215-06:002009-10-30T09:51:10.215-06:00Totally awesome post.

I can imagine it really improves your ability to create that impression of fears in your characters.<br /><br />Oh, and I love the title.

Our instinct to survive makes us afraid of things. The less we do, the less chance we have of getting hurt. I think it's cool that you are traveling outside your bubble of comfort. I have to force myself to do the same thing everyday.B.J.

I've got the agent - but now I fear not getting published. And if I get published I fear not selling my book. And if I sell my book I'm afraid of bad reviews. And if I get good reviews I'm afraid of not writing a good enough sequel.<br /><br />And then, the cirlce begins again.Cole Gibsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08384758019054580574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8429961999468918859.post-49857980228557359412009-10-28T14:35:09.436-06:002009-10-28T14:35:09.436-06:00And don't even get me started about the fear I...<i>And don't even get me started about the fear I feel when my daughter drives home from college or when my son drives his four-wheeler. </i><br /><br />These are some of the things I dread the most when I think about my kids getting older.Kathryn Hupp-Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03776391661543060879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8429961999468918859.post-77883058750531553882009-10-28T14:10:46.885-06:002009-10-28T14:10:46.885-06:00Great therapy - yes!!
