Re: What does it mean to write?
by A Non-Existent User
I once struggled with those very same obstacles "I am not good enough", "I will fail", and so on. Funny thing is...the more I wrote (and learned and applied) about the craft of writing, and...the more I read of published (best-selling) authors, I realized...there were many areas where they fell short, and yet...still wrote Amazing stories.

Granted, I have also read tales out there by best-selling authors that I was embarrassed for...the writing was so horrid.

I try to emulate those authors out there who I feel are spectacular in their craft, and while I have yet to manage to come anywhere close to their genius...I no longer let those negative fears of failure stop me.

P.S...I completely agree that there is a story in every moment. All we need is to capture its Magic!
