There are times when I read over my work and a number of things plague my mind.....

What the heck is this rubbish?

Why are you even trying to write?

Keep your day job.

Not even close.

La-who-sa-her.

These self doubt messages try to get in my way, but determination can keep me in check, if I let it.

The below thoughts are what I strive for my replies to be.....

It may be rubbish now, but I can work with rubbish. I can revise and fix it, and make it shine.

I’m writing because I enjoy it, and I NEED to. It’s like breathing.

I will keep my day job AND write.

I'm getting there.

I'm not perfect, but I'm not a loser either.

I need to remember to replace doubt with belief. The end result is so worth it, and my determination will get me there.
