"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?

ReplyDeleteAwesome quote
And u write very well according to your age and remember that u didn't have any proffesional training so far. So don't worry. You will rock and i will come to you to take your autograph on your novels
Aw, thanks :) Yeah, the quote is amazing, and very true.
Deleteno 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?
ReplyDeleteWow...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.
ReplyDelete:) 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.
