Awe is one of many words that flew through my head after the first session.  Sitting in the room with my esteemed colleagues, I became keenly aware of the myriad of talent in that room.  My question, "Can a girl hang?"  I sure hope so, as writing is a true passion.  My secret dream is to spread my winds and fly out of my comfort zone.  So eventually, I might have the courage to do what I was indeed born to do, WRITE. 
     Fear is another one of those words that I had momentary prickles of during my time in the workshop.  "Hmm, what did I get myself into?"  I couldn't help but thinking.  Then I had to quell my fears and quiet the inner demons that have stood before my dream.  Goodness, I love writing!  I guess it all comes down to one of my favorite quotes from A. A. Milne in Winnie the Pooh, You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.  That will be my matra for the duration of this course as it will definitely lead me out of my comfort zone.  So, I will be brave and return on the 18th to see what more lies ahead.
