You were learning – anyone who would ridicule you over it shows his own weakness. Good for you for continuing despite the nastiness!

I guess people have dreams of doing something but in the end..fail to achieve that dream. I had problem learning English when i first started taking an English class. I was ridiculed many times by my boss. But it was okay. I guess, when we are in the process of learning, many things will just pop up trying to stop you, especially people around you.

Have you been inside my head recently? This describe me to a T!

I have all kinds of projects in the works – book proposals, article queries, Web sites that I plan to flip (I own approx. 15 domain names, but do any of them have active sites up? No…), e-books, an e-zine, etc. My problem is I fear failure and not being “good enough” so I plan and plan and plan…and never do anything.

There are certain types of clients for whom I’ve realized I simply am not interested in working. While beggars can’t always be choosers, I’m trying to really decide which companies interest me enough to pursue relationships, and which I couldn’t care less about, even if the pay is good.

While I am capable of writing about just about anything, I’d rather go first for the jobs that stimulate me the most, and also go after those that make me stretch in directions THAT INTEREST ME. If those get sparse, I can fall back to the jobs that are less interesting to me.

A lot of my planning for next year includes the types of gigs I want to pitch to, rather than just the willy-nilly I did this year.

I also have to figure out a better balance between the fiction and the non-fiction. The non-fiction has quicker turn around/pay time, but the long-term fiction is where my interests lie. So it’s keeping them in balance so that they pay in tandem.
