Belief

Writer’s are a peculiar bunch. I can say that since I count myself as one of the bunch. The thing is, to be a writer (besides writing, that is) you pretty much have to have a certain amount of belief in yourself. That belief tends to be juxtaposed with an equal amount of insecurity. Yeah, I know, it’s weird. How can you simultaneously believe in yourself and be convinced that nothing you write will ever be worth reading?

It’s a conundrum. Some days the balance tips to the insecurity side, others it’s good just to be at equalibrium. The best days are the days when your belief in yourself is riding high. Those are the days when the words seem to flow and connect and everything clicks.

Here’s hoping for as many of those days as possible.
