The Itchy Trigger Finger

I came across this quote the other day from one of my favorite comediennes:

If you are creating anything at all,

it’s really dangerous to care about what people think.

~Kristen Wiig

And not even a week prior I tuned in to an episode of the tv show Glee on in-flight entertainment.  Not being privy to the goings-on at McKinley High, the premise was out of context but a statement by Idina Menzel’s character to daughter Rachel was not:

No one achieves success by playing it safe.

I may not have her words exactly right but that was the gist of her message.  And it hit home.  Really hard.  There are two drafts sitting (lurking?) on pulseonparenting.com that I kinda like.  No, who am I kidding?  I’m not one to toot my own horn but I’m proud of these potential blog posts.  What has kept me from pressing “publish” is that very real possibility others will not agree.  While that is always true, these particular drafts are, at least in my book, a creative risk.

But now it’s time to take the plunge.  Ms. Wiig and Elsa (no, it’s Shelby, right?) have laid out so clearly for me that I should go for it.  Publish these works I am proud of and just see what happens.

Time to pull the trigger.
