Thank you, Trish. Self-doubt can be so debilitating, can’t it? Good luck with your writing too

Especially, when one of our distractions is reading blogs/websites on writing and seeing all the comments, and finally, as we sip that inevitable cup of tea, realise that we are not alone.

Good luck with the novel. Even the greats have self-doubt and have been known to put things off for a bit. Keep plugging away at it. Perhaps you’re one of the greats of tomorrow…

When I worked as a journalist, my bureau chief once said to me, “I don’t know why we chose to be writers, we picked the one profession where we are automatically subjected to public criticism and sometimes humiliation.”

While it was funny in nature, it also made the point that writers really put themselves out there for the public. So it makes sense that we all procrastinate here and there out of fear.

But writing is an extremely rewarding process.

Good luck on your journey!

You are wonderful just because you want to create! Go ahead and create the novel that can be created only by you.
I wish you good luck. You will succeed, undoubtedly. I look forward to reading your book 🙂
