Writing doesn’t get any easier. Even after dozens of books, numerous plays and a few fan fiction stories, I still have to trick myself into facing the page. I still dance around to the Jackson 5 to shake off self doubt. I still spend two hours planning writing time and then start over again when I don’t–or can’t–follow my plan at all.  And I still have to force myself to let go and post, submit or send.

Writers, we sometimes forget we are brave. Even when we manage to kill the little bastard trolls on our shoulders, telling us not to bother, that we suck, that we’ll never find our voice or our audience, we end up having to face them again the very next day. And yet we don’t give up. Just keeping on is remarkable. It doesn’t get any easier, and yet we try again. 

Brave.
