We have to be brave and unafraid. Put things down on paper that we feel might be crap. It's the only way to mine for the gold, rainbow, glowy stuff.

I'd be hiding too, but peeking to see what happens!<br /><br />Stephen King scared me with a few of his older books, or maybe I was just younger and easily frightened.

It's hard when you feel like you have nothing to write! I can tell this is your true passion and you have to keep it nurtured. I would have to say that I know that sounds like a good book but Stephen kinda gives me the creeps..lol I am such a chicken I never watch scary movies..LOL I am the one who ducks and hides under the cover when the music queues something awful is about to happen!

He did talk about how he was rejected for years, and kept on submitting his stories.

I remember reading that Stephen King was a janitor for years while he wrote on his own time. It was a paycheck while he waited to be discovered. That "stick-to-itiveness" had to be the key. I LOVE the message of your post.

Some of my best pieces come right after a writers block piece.

Now when I get fan mail signed "your biggest fan", it gives me a little chill and I have to smile.<br /><br />MoniqueMonique DeVerehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08826281077474713823noreply@blogger.com
