That does sound like fun, and definitely a challenge. Good point about finite deadlines and getting support. Of course, the more one steps out of the comfort zone, the better one gets and encouraging oneself and having the self-confidence to succeed even when others think it can't be done. Thank you for your comment and insights. Hi Helen,

Good point about finite deadlines and getting support. Of course, the more one steps out of the comfort zone, the better one gets and encouraging oneself and having the self-confidence to succeed even when others think it can’t be done.

Thank you for your comment and insights.

I decided to push myself beyond my comfort zone by taking part in NaNoWriMo. It's only a little thing, but for me it's a big push to get over my self doubts and actually do it, and it's very liberating. If you want to do this, I think it's vital to have some support, whether it's from family and friends or from other people doing the same challenge. It really helps if there is a finite limit at which point you can say you are successful, like a deadline or just being able to do something without thinking about it anymore.
