When I hit a bump in my writing, it gave self-doubt a chance to peek up again. I’m forever fighting that beast. But, I do feel this time that it’s not fighting me as hard. That I’m winning this battle.

Sometimes I feel like I need to write my “Nobel book” with my first work. It’s insane the amount of pressure we put on ourselves as creatives. But, after years of confronting this, I feel stronger.

Maybe it’s because I came out and now I have nothing to fear and so much to share? Maybe because I’m blogging again so my writing is already reaching out to others? No matter what, I’ll take it.
