Athletes are afraid of tournaments – but still go onto the field.
Authors are afraid of publishing – but still go to publishers.
Bloggers are afraid of rejection – and still press the publish button.
Fear is not a bad thing. Fear is normal. Fear is everywhere.
But there is one thing you must learn today. I learn this lesson again and again myself:
Don't wait until the fear is gone and jamaica telegram screening you feel brave enough. Don't wait until you feel "good enough" to write your book . Don't wait until someone gives you permission to be an author.
Because that moment will never come.
You will wait yourself to the grave.
Be afraid and do what you fear. Act even though you are afraid.
Write even though you feel insecure. Write even though your parents said you have no talent. Write even though you didn't go to college.
Write.
Fear has the ability to paralyze us. That's why we as writers have to fight against this fear. Not just in our heads, but with our actions.
Only when you do what you fear will the fear go away. Only when you act can you conquer fear.
