Can you imagine facing a deadly snake at 10,000 feet in the air and
living to tell the tale?

Picture this:

Earlier this week, Pilot Rudolf Erasmus was flying his Beechcraft
Baron 58 with four passengers from the Western Cape to Nelspruit.

Out of nowhere, a chilling sensation slithered across his back.

The culprit?

A Cape cobra – a venomous snake that can kill a human in 30


minutes flat.

Heart pounding, Erasmus kept his cool, informed his passengers


about the uninvited guest, and prepared for an emergency landing.

For an excruciating 15 minutes, he navigated the aircraft with the


cobra at his feet. Through sheer grit, he safely touched down in
Welkom, South Africa, where first responders and a snake handler
greeted the grateful passengers and pilot.

Now, I know you're probably wondering what this has to do with


writing…

Stay with me here.

You see, just like Erasmus, countless courageous souls have faced
their fears head-on.

Soldiers going into battle. Athletes. Kids standing up in front of the


class on their first day of school to introduce themselves.

And, yes, writers…

J.K. Rowling overcame her fear of failure and rejection to become


one of the best-selling authors in history. Harper Lee overcame her
fear of criticism to write To Kill a Mockingbird. Jon’s favorite author,
Stephen King, overcame his fear of the dark (and actually used this
fear to influence some of his writing).

And you, my friend, have that same power within you.

"But Kevin," you might say, "even if I take writing training, I'll never
write anything good enough to be published."

Or maybe, "What if I go into debt for writing training and it doesn't


pay off? I'll be left with nothing but more financial stress!"

Trust me… I get it.

For years, I had those same thoughts.

But here's the thing:

What if you never even try?

What if you let fear keep you grounded, forever dreaming of the life
you could've had?

Isn’t such a reality scarier than these fears you’re facing?

It certainly was for me.

So, here’s my challenge to you…
