Quote from Linda Seger author of Making a Good Writer Great
Great writers are not afraid to put themselves on the line. Writing is scary. It’s the full range of emotions. What I have discovered through writing these six books — and I’m almost done with the seventh — is that there’s always a period when I’m writing that I get petrified. Sometimes it lasts for three or four months, or sometimes it lasts a weekend, or it comes and goes every three weeks. What I’ve learned is that you can write when you’re petrified. A lot of excuses people use for not writing is that they’re scared. Well, of course! People who write are scared. And the people who would like to write are scared. The difference is people who write are scared, and they write anyway. Being petrified has nothing to do with your ability to write.
