Hesitation

Hello blog fan, Scott here. I have been hesitating lately, knowing full well that without any marketing, my book will fade into the dust like so many failed projects throughout the ages. In talking with many friends we all agree the creative process is easily accessed, but the marking aspect is new, confusing, and seems to be walking down a dark plank to a deep void - any false steps can lead to a huge fall. Do I stop moving forward? If I do I will miss the fall for sure. If I do plod on who knows the trouble that awaits? Or in the future if I keep on going I may at last reach my goal of spreading a life changing event that meant the World to me!

So what - another side of me screams. The events at the Burn Ward meant a lot to me and to John. To other folks that didn't experience the same, does it really matter to them? An interesting question. I hear about lots of paranormal experiences from clients at work on a continual basis. My reaction to them is intrigue. Would I like to read it in a book? Well to be honest, only a few of the depictions have caught my interest. Others are just psychotic renditions of sillyness.

Have I hesitated in spreading the Burn Ward news because of my physical condition? I am nursing a pulled tooth and the gaping hole in my mouth. I have been in the center of household destruction with plaster difficulty, cabinet hell, and now the starting of a new project for my dad's house.

Perhaps all the busyness is giving my mind a break from focusing on a book I had spent the better part of two years on. Typing day and night and obsessing about events from my distant past can be a bit much at times. Trust me - it was a passionate experience but when the switch was turned off in it's completion it is nice to obsess on another hobby like home repair. If you have the knack to work a hammer and a saw you would understand my meaning.

So I hesitate, for whatever reason. I let my mind focus on healing my body, completing handyman projects, and begin the creative process for an exciting game for the internet -

More to follow.
