I get into most trouble when I don’t write, or when I overthink. When I’m not engaged, I doubt. So I engage. I write.

Thanks Rachel! I’d rather be honest about the process than pretend it’s all roses BUT it’s my dream and if it’s yours too you have to go for it! I hope you do

I was just reading a book about this! It was a Christian self-help type book, so it was more about believing in God and that he has the power to do great things through you than just strictly believing in yourself, but it was right along the same lines. It’s so easy to let doubt take over, to suddenly start wavering and thinking, “Is this really where I’m supposed to be? Is this really what I’m supposed to be doing with my life?” Especially if you’re surrounded by naysayers who want to tell you that you’re dreaming too big or being unrealistic. But you can’t listen to them…you have to keep following your dreams.

Thanks for posting this, by the way. I really want to write, but the more brilliant novels I read, and the more I read your blog and see that you are a real live author with many novels under her belt and an agent and everything, I feel overwhelmed. I feel like, “How will I ever get THERE?” But knowing that you still feel that way, and that other real live authors feel that way too, makes me feel better.

It can be tough work staying positive and strong in belief – I’ve faltered many times. I usually find that by getting back to myself for a while (going for a long walk in nature, listening to music, detaching from work, etc.), I can get a clearer perspective.

Just know that there are many people who believe in you and your writing, including me!

You have doubts. It’s part of being human, but you also have a great ability to tackle them and self- motivate which is an example to many of us. Life is an adventure, and not all the events in it are planned, but you have shown a steadfast determination ever since I came across your Blog. You will achieve more than you ever imagine. Of that I’m sure. May the force be with you

You caught me . . . it’s the middle of the night worrying and/or the middle of driving worrying that gets me every time.

That’s why we’re twins I try to distract myself but sometimes it’s just always there at the back of your mind and I’ll wake up in the middle of the night worrying about it, sigh. Worrying is such a waste of time, isn’t it?!
