By considering what I don’t act on as an indicator of what I fear, I can tell you that my own happiness is my greatest fear. So many things I keep bottled up, unexpressed, private to only myself.

Now, if I want to be a writer, an author, this is a great big helping of cognitive dissonance that I keep piling on my plate.

It’s time then to write. I have an entire life of experiences where I’m not the hero. I was waiting to be a hero. But I’ll never be that hero.

I simply have to write the damn books.
