Okay.
I’m about to make another jump in my writing. I’m applying for the mentorship program at the literary center where I’ve been taking classes. If I am one of the twelve selected finalists, I get to work directly with published authors in my genre (fiction). I lose nothing by applying, other than perhaps my self esteem. Still, having one’s ego smashed into itty bitty bits isn’t exactly fun — I have to admit that what ego I have is pretty fragile (which is a large part of why I haven’t sought publication and/or kudos in the past 12 years).
While I am still waiting for the results of the recent flash fiction contest, I am exposing myself to more potential rejection…. It makes me nervous.
If any of you know a good charm to help me overcome either my nervousness or ensure acceptance in one or both endeavors, I would greatly appreciate it if you sent that charm my way.
I’ll also take prayers…
