I’m starting a blog. Yay!
Yesterday, I found out that I won a grant from the Indiana Arts commission to help me write a novel.. I’m excited but nervous. What if I can’t do it?
The grant panel recorded its session as it reviewed the grant applicants. They liked my passion for the project, but they did feel my writing samples were a bit weak.
That really hurt my feelings, but I must remember to not take criticism so personally. Besides, they wouldn’t have awarded me the grant if they didn’t believe in the project.
The main reason I applied for this grant was to put time restrictions on me. I have wanted to write this novel for at least four years. Now, I must have it done in a year!
My novel explores the journey of a woman with cerebral palsy to self-acceptance and love.
