New Development: I have found myself a mentor. I wasn't even looking. I was looking for a writing group to join and they had a page of members that had been published so I started looking up the names of authors that I read. Well, I went to one of their websites which led me to another author's website and yet to another author's page.
This author was doing exactly the kind of writing that I love to do - sort of a mishmash of sci-fi and chick lit, making a good living at it and receiving awards. She also writes for writers on various subjects regarding the publishing business and writing for a living. I signed up for her free course and bought a couple of her books to get a feel for her teaching style, and its exactly what I need and want. It's kind of like learning from myself, only a self that's been there and done what I want to do. How very sci-fi with a strong female lead
- maybe I'll write a book about it. She's very generous with answering questions in her forums as well.
10 Days in, 22 to go for phase 1.
Still having vivid dreams
I dreamt that I was able to quit my day job and I wasn't panicked about it.
I figured that goes to the entrepreneurial mindset. Before BASE, a job equaled security, thinking about not having one would set me in a tailspin. Now I can think about being financially independent not having a corporate job or winning the lottery without the heart palpitations.
Thanks Shannon!!!!! Loving BASE. I
