Be a fearless writer!
How often we get bogged down with the non-essentials. Too often we allow the imposter syndrome to keep us from being successful. Fear. Anxiety. Lack of motivation. Lack of discipline. These are just some of the things that keep us from being the best writers we can be. Remember that YOU are the creator of your writing. True, you are inspired by various people, events and sources, but the bottom line is that YOU are in control. It’s important then to stay true to yourself. To write authentically. To be fearless. Today, I’m sharing with you some quotes to encourage you to be a fearless writer.
