Insecure Writers: Discouragement

Wow, it's so easy to get discouraged in this writing biz. And let it throw us off track. It presents itself as an almost palpable obstacle now and then, so I overcome it by reminding myself why I write - because I love it. It's my joy and my escape, my nurturing and sometimes tearing-down. But always, it's part of who I am. All the other nits about this business won't stop me from doing what I love.

I came across this graphic online, and it seemed perfect for today. For anyone finding themselves in a slump, know that it's perfectly natural. Just keep your eyes on the prize, and remember what's important. Never never never give up.
