Passage 3

After a year I still hadn’t got a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that I hardly made enough to eat.But I knew 1 wanted to write.I had dreamed about it for years.I wasn't going to be one of those people who did wondering “What if”. I would keep putting my dream to the test,even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure.
This is the Shadow land of hope,and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.
