The sole purpose of a threshold guardian is to test your mettle, to see if you are ready for your own hero’s journey. — Lindsay C. Gibson

Congratulations, Author! You’ve done it. You’ve committed to taking the big leap. To going for a major author goal. This is the day, the month, the year, you will…

• Finish your manuscript.
• Polish your manuscript.
• Write that book proposal.
• Find an agent.
• Find a publisher.
• Self-publish.
• Build an author website.
• Build an author platform.
• Properly promote your book.
• Begin a speaking sideline.
• Hire an assistant.
• Quit your job and make a full-time living as a writer.

This time you will do it. You are full committed, really committed, to making a go of it. You can feel it deep within. The knowing. No turning back. I’m putting myself and my dreams and my plans first!

As soon as you attempt something worthwhile, a threshold guardian will appear. — Lindsay C. Gibson
