I often wonder if my college education is going to be worth it in the long run. I wonder if writing is really the thing for me, or am I wasting my time? I know that I shouldn't let these thoughts get to me, but sometimes it's hard not to think about it. I want to become successful one day but the little gremlins of fear and confusion prance around me, claw at my confidence.
I'm sure I'm not the only writer that feels this way.
Words of Encouragement:
"A professional writer is an amateur who didn't quit.” -Richard Bach
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” -Maryanne Williamson
"You cannot hope to sweep someone else away by the force of your writing until it has been done to you." -Stephen King
"Forget all the rules. Forget about being published. Write for yourself and celebrate writing." -Melinda Haynes
