Looking for a job is scary...I ...Good for you Kara. Looking for a job is scary...I know...I already started. And the fear of rejection for your writing is understandable. I'm a chicken when it comes to my writing, constantly worrying if I'm good enough, if I chose the right path. I won't know unless I try.<br /><br />It's unfortunate that you need to leave a job you enjoy. Enjoying what you do is one of the most important things in life, and yet, many of us don't. <br /><br />I wish you luck with your writing and job hunt. I have plenty of freelance sites I search, so if you want any just give a holler.<br /><br />P.S. I submitted my poems to Black Label Books. Thanks for letting me know. I appreciate it.Denise Baerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08432140925773614828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6571667277898904726.post-1284735610340911342011-02-18T16:15:26.697-08:002011-02-18T16:15:26.697-08:00You'll do well in all the areas you want to. ;...You'll do well in all the areas you want to. ;-)<br /><br />Have a great weekend yourself. :-DTyhitia Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14070000168178880911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6571667277898904726.post-9211501039854356982011-02-18T15:41:29.735-08:002011-02-18T15:41:29.735-08:00This too shall pass.

I am dealing with similar issues now with my job search. it takes a lot out of me to put forth the effort req'd to edit my resume all pretty for each specific job and then the cover letter too! it is overhwleming, and at the very bottom of my pile of overwhelm, is the fear. the deep dark fear of rejection. the concept of not being good enough, or simply someone else might be better. no one wants to hear that. it's depressing. but as difficult as it is, we still have to try, because the worst that can happen is that we will be turned down. and i suppose that is marginally better than having never tried in the first place. so, together now, in the spirit of the little engine, "i think i can, i think i can, i think i can... you can do it!!!!<br />oh and p.s. thanks for the reading material, my current job stomps on my soul all day telling me that i am useless. this helped!heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01475270270392680093noreply@blogger.com
