Still adjusting to new things..

Recently, I volunteered for a couple of secretarial jobs that I can do from home. I'm still learning new things and trying to muddle through, but everyone is very patient. Also, I've started a new story and working hard to sort out the plot. These things are always a bit daunting when you begin, but generally, they do get better.
On the positive side, I'm definitely feeling more confident about the new jobs than I did in the beginning.
I hope all of you are doing well and not being overwhelmed by your insecurities.
Thank you to Alex Cavanaugh for starting this wonderful group. Stop by Alexcavanaugh.blogspot.com and read everyone's comments!

    Glad to read you are feeling more confident! I'm sure that will continue and soon you'll be an old hand at the jobs. Good luck!

      Thanks, Julie, new things always make me frazzled in the beginning, but I try to keep at it cause I know it's the learning curve and it will get better. It's always good to hear from you. Wishing you all the best, as always.

    Hope the confidence grows even more. Sometimes all we need is a little time and practice.

    Congratulations on the new jobs! It will take some getting used to at first, but you will get the hang of it soon enough and be great at it. Starting a new book is always so exciting. I am wishing you all the best with the new book.
