It's much easier to write what's safe and known. @Cat: Thanks Cat - keep on giving birth! @Katie: Good point, rewriting is essential, as is the confidence to trust yourself when rewriting. @Don: Awesome, thanks Don :D @Ayesha: Thank you! @Meg: Keep doing what feels right, and don't put artificial limits on what you write and how you write it. You'll nail it. @Michael: Spot on. What you're describing sounds a little like "flow", where the questions about what you're writing and whether you're good enough to write slip away and you *just write*. That's confidence. @Christina: Good for you, love your attitude :) @Cat: You're welcome :) @Glenn: Thanks fella, I'll take a look. @William: "But the willingness to leap over that abyss of doubt is the first and most essential quality that eventually takes us to whatever we can become." - love this, thanks. @Nancy: Absolutely agree – confidence is trusting yourself.

@Karl: Thanks Karl.

She performs a kind of NaNoWriMo on herself, locking herself in her room and writing day and night, all the while scared to death that what she's doing is lousy. But she finishes what she started -- and that makes her a writer. Being great at something takes time, and it may never happen at all.

It’s part of the process of great writing." It is a constant fight for me to abandon perfectionism. Thanks for the reminder!
