"Maybe other writers don't have the same fear of failure, and sense of impostor syndrome that I often struggle with..." For most of us? Only if we are not being honest.
I love some of the contests because they prime-the-pump and get me into writing daily. I can also stretch my wings. I write flash fiction now because I wanted to try it on for size. Snug fit, but shorter is better for me because I'm more of a poet than story teller.
Can you break down your writing goals into bite-size objectives? Or just say to yourself... I have X amount of time and I'm just going to write and see where the pencil, pen, keyboard, recording device takes me.
I read, write, take photos, talk to people ... because I have to ...to stay alive. Whatever works best for you? Go for it."
So... Am I a cheerleader or just an observer ? Many writers here at WDC just write for themselves , others form a tight-knit community who love to chit, chatter and have fun.
Not me. I'm not a fun-guy. I'm far too serious.
I comment because you-all inspire me. You prime-my-pump of creativity. If I can provide some support, maybe that's as-good-as-it-gets.
