I can't tell you how many times a week I freak out over being a writer. Writing is something I DEFINITELY want to do and can see myself doing for the rest of my life, but then I get discouraged. Do I have the skills to be a good writer? Will I be able to publish with an agent and publisher or will I have to end up self-publishing? Will people like my book? What if family and close friends hate my book, can I handle that? I can see myself published, but will that actually come true or not?
“I remember everyone telling me I had to think positive when I was writing my first book. If I believed I could do it, then I could! If I pictured myself published, then it was going to happen! Which sounded great, except…could I do it? If I didn’t think I could, was I doomed to fail? What if I was almost totally sure I would fail? I am here to tell you—what matters is sticking with it.”
