It was early January. The sun was out. Or maybe it was raining? It was brisk, but not too much in Southern California. I had just begun the year with a new mantra and zest for life.
And then it all dropped out from under me.
I hit a business failure.
A big, floppity flop.
Oof. It was not fun, my friend. It took my soul some time to heal and move forward. I truly wondered if this was the "fail" that would tank me. Was this the one that would stop my momentum? That would cause me to throw in the towel of my business? Was I doomed to fail forever? (I'm a Cancer, so my emotions are very strong).
Spoiler alert: No I was not doomed. I found a way to move forward with new zest.
To hear the steps I took and how you can apply them to yourself next time you face a "fail" moment in your writing career,—which will happen because we all deal with failure when we are trying to do big things—listen to the full podcast episode.
 If you are in the midst of this right now, my message to you is this: You will get through it. Give yourself time, grace, and when you are ready, take one small step forward. You'll be on the other side of it again.
