Don't think, just DO.

While in Vancouver, I went to see a psychic. I've always been curious so when my friend suggested it, I agreed. It was an interesting experience, not because she told me I would have several children, that my husband is a good match for me, or that I'll be swimming in cash sooner rather than later (all of which she said)... but because she gave me some very common sense advice. "You can't open the door if you never put a key in the lock," she said. "You can't expect the door to open if you never turn the handle. You think too much. You need to stop thinking so much and start doing."

At first I was pumped up---yes! You are absolutely right, lady! I think too much! I need to do more! I have been sitting on a very good manuscript for years because I over think the details of query letters and agents and publishing. But I was still on vacation, and by the time I returned home, a lot of the high had faded and once again I find myself over-thinking instead of just doing.

I have several projects to take care of this month. Sending my query letters has to be one of them.

I am sick of being in this same rut, spinning my wheels. It's boring. It's depressing. It's frustrating. Enough already.
