Persevere through the process!

The fog comes on little cat feet

Of course, after you investigate your topic, and incubate on the ideas, you may also feel a bit foggy and scared to continue. This fog slips in quiet as a cat and you begin to doubt yourself, your topic, your outline. Persevere. This is not the time to scrap your research and start all over. This is the time to put the pedal to the metal and push through the self doubt. You may need to practice your presentation out loud at least 10 - 13 times before you begin to feel excited to give your speech. You have something important to say. The fog will lift. That cat will go away.
