Definitely not a fun mindset to have, so I'm sorry to hear you experience it, too! :/<br /><br />Anyway, good luck not dwelling on these fears, and have fun writing in the meantime! :)Heather R.

I...That's a really good attitude to have :)! I'm so full of insecurities, it's unreal. For years I've been telling myself I'm not good enough to write, no one will want to read my stories, and I keep abandoning novels when I've barely started them. Lately, I've started to think more like you - for my current project, I'm just concentrating on enjoying what I'm writing - and this is the most excited I've been about something I've written for a long time :). I can't wait to get home at nights just to write at the moment!<br />Keep up the good work :)!Rachel Pattinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05848131947437970731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-878172058685455293.post-83198245803398056452014-06-08T14:33:38.429-07:002014-06-08T14:33:38.429-07:00Like you I keep writing.

I hear in this bizz we have to learn how to grow thick skin. I've never had the ability to do this, but every day I exist in this writing world, my skin grows a little thicker. Have faith, Rachel. Know, these things take time. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02691497935668743387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-878172058685455293.post-19974569030755653032014-06-05T05:42:36.626-07:002014-06-05T05:42:36.626-07:00I think for many of us, just being able to make a ...I think for many of us, just being able to make a living writing will be enough!

Mindnumbing, heart pumping, music listening, endlessly climbing the magic staircase to NOWHERE is where I find the vast majority of inspiration. <br /><br />As for the doubts, I've never figured out how to get rid of those, so I just keep going despite them. Bravery isn't doing something without feeling fear, it's doing something despite being scared out of your pants. Writing is like that with doubts.
