Wichita, KSI am a parts inspector for the airline industry. A very technical field for a guy wanting to be a writer from the day he could walk!
I had heard The Secret a number of times, and I knew about the law of attraction. However, I kept being blocked by the idea that I was one voice in a sea of voices asking for things. So, I took a look at the mental structures that kept me from thinking that what I wanted was not coming. The biggest mental block was that a man could not live on his pen alone.
I have always wanted to be a writer, and I have been writing every day from the age of 14 without fail. Not even once have I failed to at least write part of a story. But there was an idea stuck in the back of my head that I could not afford to live on writing alone.
Well, about two weeks ago, I took that mental structure blocking my path and bashed it with my ambition. I kept telling myself that a successful writer desires success as much as a drowning man desires air! I had to set it in my mind that not being successful was more absurd and shocking than someone being struck by lightning seven times in a row!
I am happy to say that book one is now out and is doing rather well for a first timer book. I may not have been able to afford the fancy editors, and there have been many bumps, but it is all part of the learning process!
You just have to remember, you have to want it like a drowning man wants air. Not getting what you wish most for should seem absolutely bonkers! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
