Whenever I approach a writing project, it goes like this:
This is Susie Salmon.
- Pitch my ability to do the job.
- Get the job.
- Start work on the job.
- Stress process begins — I can’t do this job, why did I think I could do this? I am never going to get this right. Maybe I should call and quit.
- Do the job.
The only thing I really know anything about is politics. The only thing I know I do well is write (I am also good at event planning and media relations but writing is really my thing).
I am posting these photos because one is of Saoirse Ronan at 13 looks a little like me at 13.
A photo I found of myself from my youth. See? I wasn’t always a thousand years old.
