Sitting here with a cheap cup of coffee, I am suddenly aware that this is, as some ad once said, "The first day of the rest of your life". I am finishing grading the final papers for my part-time teaching job. I will post the final grades in the next 24 hours. Then I am done. No, I mean really done. No other contract is waiting. Done.
Pretty damn scary. This was the job to cover the gap as I escaped my corporate cubicle to self-employment. Now I must rely on what I promised myself I was supposed to be doing. I must have 100% faith in that. No more safety net.
I am going to muster my courage up today and post pictures of my art work on Etsy. I am going to mail the three query letters I have for terrific magazine articles I have researched. Whew. There I said it. Somehow actually taking the risk is horrifying and scintillating at the same time.
No choice but "do it or die".
