Nerve

be brave and have the courage to keep writing,

even when you’re afraid

you’ll never be good enough.

    Much much needed wisdom! It is amazing how hard we can be on ourselves! You are more than good enough. You’re a gifted writer who always inspires me when I read what you’ve written… don’t let that inner demon lie to you saying you can’t or you won’t or you’re not. Couldn’t be further from the truth! ♥ Thanks for sharing your struggles. We can relate!

    Thanks for the encouragement! Sometimes it feels like we can be shouting into the (online) void

    Thank you for the encouragement! I haven’t been blogging much because I don’t know how to say what I’ve been feeling, and I’ve been writing using my handy Remmington typewriter, which makes a world of difference when writing! (no delete button, EVERYTHING is permanent! lol). Maybe I should go easy on myself 🙂

    Keep writing (and inspiring us)

    Milli, it’s the cats, we all know it now.
    However, I’m reticent to bow to the Feline Meme Queen.
    I think I’ll try crickets. If it works or if all I get is crickets, at least I’d be successful either way.

    It’s so easy to give up. You never improve if you’re not writing.

    Thank you very much for the encouragement.
    It sometimes seems like you write in a vacuum and no one read what you write.

    Now listen to yourself and believe in those words. They are written in stone (well, on the Internet), so there is no going back. You have to lead by example.
