Leaps of faith

Well, I did it. I sent an essay to these people who are writing a book about Autism, and had asked for essays from people with Autism, or families of people with Autism, describing how it affected their lives.

I got an email back today saying I'll hear in 8-10 weeks whether or not they decide to use it. Either way, I'm glad I did it. While I'm not sure how much further being included in the book takes me as far as being a 'published author' but they are my words, and if they take them, they'll be in a real book with pages and everything, so it's all good. And if they don't take me, well, at least I tried. Most of my problem is that I haven't even taken the risk, haven't tried to get anything out there for a long time. Even getting rejected makes me more of a writer then just sitting around moaning about how I want to be a writer does.

If anyone wants to read it, the essay is behind the cut. ( Essay )
