Daily Confessions

I'm nervous about my second book and have been procrastinating on finalizing it. It is supposed to be released in September, but I haven't approved the final copy. My publisher loves it and I know the content is interesting and informative, but I'm worried about the repercussions.

Dirty Secrets of the World's Worst Employee exposes all of my past career mistakes, as well as the mistakes of others. Although I've changed everyone's names and done my best to hide people's identities, some of my former employers were unethical (almost evil) and they will not appreciate that I've published their bad behaviour for the world to see.

I addressed my concerns in the story itself and find myself constantly referring back to what I wrote in the book.

"I am now a brave woman, sometimes too brave. When I’m fighting injustices, I feel invincible. I would like to believe that as long as I am being honest and fair, I will be protected from prosecution. However, reality doesn’t always mimic my ideals. I can't allow the fear of what might happen stop me from doing what I know is right."

Yes, there is a chance someone may try to sue me. I feel pretty confident they won't win, but life doesn't come with any guarantees. I've told the truth and I have evidence to support my claims. I must have faith that it will be enough to keep me protected.

I can't predict my former employer's reaction to my story. However, that shouldn't prevent me from being brave. My story needs to be told for every employee who was unjustly made to feel like the world's worst employee.

I guess that means I need to approve the final draft. Here goes EVERYTHING!
