Roadblocks to Success
Yeah yeah yeah. I'm trying to write an article that I hope to get published. Published where? I don’t know? Maybe in one of journals that I don't dare pick up when I'm in the Oncologist office. It's full of sob stories right? Or not. Maybe it is a story of inspiration. "Kicked Cancers A%%" That’s what we all want to read right?
Anyway it's a project. In the beginning You have the vision, the dream. And you see the finished product. The problem arises when trying to put the two ends together. The middle! What goes in the middle?
1981: Journalism Class, I was taught the rules: Who what where when and how. Professor What-was-his-name (Pretty Sure he is still teaching) I see him around campus; maybe I should stop him and ask for advice. Nah.
Maybe Creative Writing class, Technical Writing?.. I wrote directions from the airport 38 miles away. I am pretty sure anyone following those directions was totally lost. You see my dilemma with this journal article? I’m lost. I need a sense of direction. It needs to flow like a lazy summer stream, not like a flooded fall river.
My friend and I once called this article the Oprah article, then she (Oprah) canceled her show without notifying us, imagine! I mentioned this to my Mom and suggested that it now be called the Today Show Article.
I know I will get to “how” I just don’t know how. Do you know how you will get to your vision, your success? Work on it.
