I never consider myself or what I say high brow, so I couldn’t shake the refusal. I feel though, while not the most inspiring or polished of writers, that I can put thought to keyboard and make a point. Had I been wrong this whole time?
I took pride in being an introvert. A non-confrontational, “nice guy.” For 29 years, I spent blazing the path of least resistance. It’s a nice, paved highway. It’s familiar, comfortable and low risk. About 8 months ago, I took a wrong turn, which in fact, was actually the right turn.
Perfection bothers me.
I hear it all the time: “My idea is great, but it’s not perfect.” or “I’m waiting to perfect my blog until I launch it.”
Quite frankly, it’s crap. It’s lame. It’s an excuse.
