Keep doing what you're doing and don't worry about being judged. Just be yourself and if someone says you're not a writer they probably aren't themselves.

Don't worry too much about other people. There's not one book that pleases everyone. I've always been of the belief that if I love what I'm writing, then there have got to be other people who will like it as well. Get rid of that shame and accept yourself as the real writer you are.Chancelethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12880082145266359126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1080048310531382107.post-63176861456282704152013-09-04T05:59:58.986-07:002013-09-04T05:59:58.986-07:00I think (with the fortunate few who've met wit...I think (with the fortunate few who've met with wild success) most of us are still waiting to feel like real writers. At least I know I am. Maybe it's one of those things that you just need to tell yourself over and over so you can believe it!

Insecurities are endless, and I feel the same way. How can I compete with literary geniuses? We don't compete, we do the best that we can and then pray. Good Luck, Diana, I wish you great success!Cathrina Constantinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16960849263181625782noreply@blogger.com
