This is my first blog post. Starting new things doesn't scare me—my biggest fear is regret, not failure. I'd rather try and fail every time than get to a certain point and wish I had tried.

I now have 7 books published, which isn't bad for anyone, but especially for a fantasy writer who is also a college athletic director. I've never tried to fit into any molds other people create, and it has served me well!

Do you, do it the best you can, and never be afraid to try something new. Quitting is an option, and because it is, you make the decision every day to do something. It's not a burden; it's an opportunity you choose to take on. Quit if you want, but then find something you love so much you will never consider quitting!

What have you started lately? How is it going?
