9. Be yourself. This shouldn’t be counterintuitive. I hope it isn’t. Don’t lose sight of who you are. Embrace the awkwardness, the glee, the dumbfoundedness.

This is from Hugh Howey’s interview with Publishing Perspectives. Every single item on the list inspired, excited and encouraged me. What a great guy! No wonder he’s successful.

I see myself as being totally awkward and gauche. And here, this famous author is telling me to embrace it! Hurray! I will!

Have a wonderful day.
