[…] Writing and the Creative Life: What are you afraid of? (gointothestory.blcklst.com) […]

The most important thing I've learned in my young writing career is that to use fear and anxiety as motivation. As you said, "you must do something," that is so true. You can either be paralyzed by your fear or you can say fuck it, I'm going to work as hard as I can at this and become the best I can be, if no one likes it then so be it, but I will keep working at it.
