If I couldn’t possibly fail? Become a well-loved author. I’ve always wanted to be an author, but I always get writer’s block. Grrr.

I’ve never let the idea of failure keep me from trying something I want to try. Am I missing something here? I can’t think of anything.

I’m not trying to be a butt head. I’m totally serious. :)
