How to get past the fear????

[Guest guest]

Hi all.

Sorry I don't post much. As a mom of six very active children I don't get

much chance to read the list mail.. I have to delete more than I would like

in order to keep close to reading all.

I have been going to start my packet for two months now... I know that I am

a procrastinator Queen but I am not usually this bad. I have started my

letter about 6 times. then I get stumped.... I am not sure how to get out

what is inside. I thought that maybe I should just break down and ASK my

" friends " on the list. HOW DID YOU GET IT GOING??? I am afraid that I will

not get the sentence stucture correct. that my bad grammar will get my letter

" rejected " . I am not real good at essays and writing. So I am really nervous

about not getting it " right " . HECK I AM SCARED ! !!

I am afraid that my own inability to focus and get this letter written is

going to cast me the chance at changing my life.

Please assist. I could really use the motovation.

Thanks in advance.

Anita, for the sake of those 6 wonderful children, who need their mommy, I

will proof and edit your letter for you(something I do for income, usually),

and email it back to you with grammatical and spelling changes. But your

words will be yours, not mine, have no fear. Deal???

Now, what's your excuse??? Big smile. Fondly, PhillyJude

Anita,

In the 12 steps to get started there is a sample patient letter.. I followed

that pretty much, answering the questions in my own words, and putting the

experiences of my own life in the place of that person's experiences.

You'll find it very helpful.

Anita:

I was so afraid of that dang patient letter - it was

the absolute last thing I did for my packet. I put it

off until the last minute. But once I got started it

just FLOWED out of me. I had no trouble writing for

11 pages. I followed someone else's advice and

pretended that I was talking it over with a friend. I

didn't take me any time at all to finish the rough

draft. Just tell him how you feel in your own words -

he doesn't expect you to write like a doctor.

Have a friend proof read for grammar and punctuation.

I'm sure it will be fine.
