Fear and Doubt


"We walk away from our dreams afraid we may fail, or worse yet, afraid we may succeed."

So, about writing. It's come to this again. Of course I'm plagued with self-doubt, isn't everyone? Or maybe it's just me. I don't know if I'll do something meaningful with my life, or even if I'll make a living doing something that I love.

Maybe I shouldn't be throwing these fits and just put my head down and my tail between my legs and get on with whatever I've started. Maybe.

And maybe I should take a little leap of faith, and see what pans out.

I don't have the strength to do that. Not yet.

I'm writing a book. Again. I will finish this one, even if I take my own sweet time about it. After all, I know where to find the write or die site, and I can force myself to meet these characters. Eventually they will be good friends of mine. I wouldn't know until I try, right?

  2. no not everyone is filled with self-doubt, you also have to admit the presence of those who are not "self-aware". on a side note - what is happening of the book?

  3. Wow...you've been here already. I only got to this place a few months back. You are so mature as a writer for your age. All the best.

    1. :) I feel that age doesn't come into it. There are probably bunches of people my age or younger who are far, far ahead of me on the writing curve. I think it's all down to how much time you've spent on your craft.
