Thoughts for Friday - 24th April 2015

Thoughts for Friday – 24th April 2015

Last week’s post saw Trials of a Wanna-Be Published Author reach a very special landmark:

200 posts!

I’m not sure which is more surprising, the fact that I have managed to come up with 200 posts, or the fact that people are still reading them. Let’s be honest, I think I came across as a little too earnest in my early posts and looking back on them, it does make me cringe a little. Thankfully (or…

This quote isn’t attributed to anyone in particular, but I chose it mainly because it strikes a chord with me and my progress during my therapy sessions. I could probably drone on and on about how life as a kid sucked, how unloved I felt etc.

But you know what?

Bitching and moaning about how crappy your start in life has been isn’t going to change anything.
