Writing

To put it simply: I want to be an author.

That said, I'm finding it very difficult to pursue that dream.

I know how to write, and I think I have some interesting things to say, but (always the but), I fret that it's not enough. Not interesting enough, not enough quantity, not enough "voice". And part of me wants assurance that it will be worth the effort ("worth it" meaning something like it pays the bills and puts food on the table).

So I create distractions for myself to avoid putting in the time and effort, and I've not submitted much of anything. I know rejections are a writer's stock in trade, and it would serve me better to acquire the "thick skin" recommended to any writer.
