It was June 5,2015 at 3am, it was extremely hot in my bedroom. I violently threw my blanket on the floor and let the sweat roll down my temples. I wanted so desperately to turn on my air but I had no energy to move, no matter how hard I tried I could not sleep. I lay awake in total darkness burning from the fire. You see, I've always been good at playing it safe but on this night the fire would not leave me alone as it burned through all of my excuses. My thoughts were racing, I could not seem to quiet my mind. I mean, could I actually pull this off? I had so many unfinished books in my closet, there were so many others tucked away in files that I would quickly rush pass as I uploaded my resume for another job I really didn't want.
Normally I'd fall asleep and wake up in dread but on this night I could not ignore my fire. We all have that special something that God put us here to do, it's that thing that freaking terrifies and exhilarates us! And my thing was literally burning me alive, I had no choice in the matter; I was going to write this book.
Have you been ignoring your fire?
PS, I finished the book
