I have a creative project I want to work on and it scares the heck out of me! Which is my first clue that it's something I should pursue, right? I want to do things that scare me. My goal is to work on it for at least an hour a day. I am posting it here so that I will be accountable and it will push me to follow through.
I figure the more uncomfortable I am, the more progress I will make.
The thing that scares me the most about this project is that I have to reach out to people I don't know and ask for them to share information about themselves with me. What reason would they have to do this besides the fact that I am asking? And then if I don't keep going and turn this into something, they might be disappointed. So, in a way, reaching out makes it more real, gives it some gravity, and scares the heck out of me!
What if I can't follow through...
I will post regular status updates on how I am doing and the level of scary I was able to reach.
Have you ever done anything that just scared the heck out of you? How did it turn out? Were you glad you did it?
