Day 1

Oh my god I can’t believe it’s taken me twelve years to start blogging! Talk about so ten minutes ago, talk about so last millennium!

Has blogging been around for twelve years? (I should Google that?) If not, I thought of it first, I should have milked that when I had the chance! Story of my fucking life!

Better late than never I say, so here goes…

I’m Marcia and I’m fabulous!!!!

I’ve been fabulous for twelve years, not long considering how old I am… as if I’m going there just yet!

I was married for 22 years, I’ve been divorced for 3 but to look at me you wouldn’t know it, well it has been a while since my last Botox injection so today I’d probably pass as late thirties… OK 40… OK 41... fuck it!

This year I have embarked on a new venture. This week I took it one step further; I quit my nice, warm, secure, comfortable, job that I’ve had for years to follow my dream... To finish writing my book!

I would like to say it’s the riskiest move of my life but not even close… I wish I could say I’ve never stepped further out of my comfort zone but that wouldn’t be true either…

I recently took three weeks annual leave over Easter to write... and I did... 120,000 words, 30 chapters, way too much to be a published book these days from an unknown author. The bad news... I'm only half way! The good news... I've have some great feedback already and in July my manuscript will be professionally edited by renowned author and lecturer Patti Miller, I've never been more excited!

I tried to go back to work after my break, well I did and I tried to keep writing but I lost the flow; I hated everything about that. I knew I had a decision to make; I could stay in my comfortable job, two minutes from home, looking at hot guys all day as a Campaign Talent Manager for a renowned men’s underwear/swimwear company and wonder; what if, what if… or I could follow my gut, which is telling me; I have to do this, the time is now, this is what I’m supposed to be doing and I know untold rewards will follow, I know the best is yet to come… Really, what the fuck am I waiting for?

So here I am, standing at another fork in my road and I just took the first step down a new path, it feels right, if feel goods but then again, I could just be crazy?

Time will tell….

And I’ll leave it at that for now, my first ever blog post… BOOM!

I hope you blog me back, imagine that, no one out there, fucking ordinary!

Cheers
Marce (my friends call me Marce, or Marcy)
