As the days shorten down to hours and the lists reduce down to crossed off parallel lines, the feeling of putting the work out there is painfully similar to taking that first step off a cliff into glacier water, or writing a dictée, or getting up in front of a group of people who have no idea what you are all about. It is scary and daunting but there is also an excitement that this time there is something to be said and hopefully a new way of saying it....
