WE DARE YOU...

WE dare you…

I stared at those words until they blurred in front of my eyes.

We dare you.

But, dare I? What if it all went pear shaped? What if I failed? What if I was rubbish, and my plot untenable?

What if…

One of the saddest phrases I know. Along with if only, and I wish I had.

Could I pull up my big girl panties and do it? Be brave and try.

If I don't succeed, at least I'll know.

I will do it.

Although, saying those four words is so much easier than actually doing it.

It's now or never.

Mind made up, I began to plot and plan, and gathered everything I thought I might need. I was surprised how easy it was.

I would do this. I would succeed how ever long it took—or die trying.

I tried not to dwell on that expression. It wouldn't happen. Somehow I'd succeed, however difficult and not die. Not yet.

I knew it would be hard, nothing so important could be easy.

No love affair was ever without its pitfalls, its highs and lows.

But I'd win.

I flexed my fingers, it was time.

I wrote…

(PS, it's my three year author birthday. My flash tells you how that came about,
 My first book Wallflowers Don't Wilt was published on this day in 2011 by Breathless Press.  I have an ecopy to give away to one person who comments on this…)

Happy reading,
