Thank you for your encouraging words. I love to write but I struggle with self-doubt and the fear of criticism. Some days this is all I need to press on.

I’m a raw amateur at this writing game but I enjoy the.challenge of putting thoughts ‘on paper’. I remember reading some similar ad ice from a gentleman named Jeff Goins, I believe. In a short book on writing, he urged readers who wrote to put down their pencils and say, “I’m a writer!” I did that and it seemed to liberate me so that I wouldn’t feel silly about what I was doing and to continue doing it. Your post is another good reminder, Charles. Thanks.

Thanks for the encouragement… I need to reset my system a bit as I’ve got out of sync for the last couple of days. Thanks! Katie

I like you! Great words. It’s interesting how creativity can sometimes shut down when everything else does. At these times we gotta dig deep. Thanks!

Sometimes, Charles, that’s damn hard to remember.
“What’s the point?” is my most nagging thought.
“Doesn’t matter, no point is required. I feel better when I write.” is eventually my answer.
