  1. My challenge is narrowing down which specialty I want to focus on/write about. Definitely I'd like to do the b2b copywriting...but I'm scared I'll be rejected. So, I'm gonna start creating greeting card ideas and submit them to oatmeal studios to break my fears!! I'll keep you posted😊

    Write right

  2. Bonnie Caton Fanning said something similar a few weeks back on the Barefoot Writer Facebook group. We can get stuck between the "pain of experience" and the "fear of the unknown." But how often, once we have moved on and look back do we realize the fear we imagined was far greater than the reality we encountered.
