It made me think at all the time writers need to show courage to be true to their stories…
- Sometimes it is about writing in a way which scares us a little because we´re not sure we can. It seems too powerful, too out-there, too crazy, too elaborated, simply too much for our ability but we take our chances.
- Sometimes we reach a place in our writing which is painful but we power through.
- Sometimes we know we´re breaking the so-called writing rules but we go for it.
- Sometimes we wonder if we will ever succeed but we keep on writing.
When the writing gets tough, it may just mean we have to overcome our fear, whatever it is. We´re all courageous in our writing one way or another and we should remember it.
Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear. (Mark Twain)
Tell me, what is one scary moment you had to overcome in your writing journey?
