Apex has invited Beth Wodzinski, editor in chief at Shimmer, to be a guest blogger. She’s talking about publishing, but the excellent advice could be applied to almost anything.
The real lesson for me is one I’ve had to learn over and over, in every area of my life: shut the fuck up and act. Do something. Get on with it. You can’t just sit there paralyzed by how huge or impossible the task is and how hopeless and despairing you are; none of that actually matters. What matters is taking action. You have to just jump in and do it anyway. I don’t care if you’re talking about writing a novel or running a magazine or painting your kitchen or finishing a triathlon: if it’s something you want, then STFU and do it.
Yes, ma’am. Thank you, ma’am. 🙂
I appreciate this quote. Thanks, Mary.
I love this! I’m making a copy for my over-the-compy wall 🙂 Say Hi! to Beth for me, too, I never see her anymore 🙂
I’d love to send something to Shimmer, that’s a great magazine you all do.
Oh, I guess this would be a STFU and do it moment! 😀
