That goes for every article, ad, brochure, website, newsletter and piece of fiction I've ever written--and that's quite a number. <br /><br />You're right: the best thing to do is keep at it. This job isn't easy and it's not pretty. The fear never leaves. But I think that might be OK, in the end. <br /><br />The people who aren't afraid tend to write lame, uninspired dreck.Doug Muranohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11911501071644588107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5604033530537822263.post-30531176882300153212010-03-01T13:15:56.912-06:002010-03-01T13:15:56.912-06:00Ah, the Wizard of Oz.

I catch myself doing that a lot with this writing thing too. Gotta say, fear might be there to keep us alive, but as the Bene Gesserit tell us, it's the mind-killer ;)<br /><br />Looking forward to the announcement!

We put so much into it, that it's hard to hear that other people don't agree, or that they don't think it's good enough.<br /><br />But I agree with you. It's okay to make mistakes. It's how we grow and improve. Thanks!Elana Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05877856005992028912noreply@blogger.com
