When you sit down to write and freeze, it’s not because you don’t have enough ideas.

It’s because the next sentence feels too honest.

Too revealing. Too close to the bone.

And somewhere inside, you’re asking: Who am I to say this? What if it’s not profound enough? What if I’m not enough on the page?

"I write to give myself strength. I write to be characters that I am not. I write to explore all the things I'm afraid of." --Joss Whedon

What am I if not a writer?

There's a lot to be said for sitting in a dark room plotting out your next story. Your characters come to life on the screen when it is the only source of light. The only sound is my mechanical keyboard clicking beneath my fingers. The close-enough typewriter sounds spur me on as I weave plot, setting, and character. But my insecurities start to show around the third paragraph.
