Day 7: Facing Doubts

So I’ve been trying to write this post for a few days now. I was doing pretty good getting these things ready; I got days 1 through 6 all done and then I just ran out of steam. I started thinking, ‘what do I know about writing pep talks?’ and ‘is my advise really any good?’ and of course there’s that simply blank feeling that would come over me when I sat down to work on this. You know that one where you just can’t think of anything that seems worth writing and go wander over to Facebook or Pintrest? Yeah, I didn’t have much to say. In fact I still don’t.

Now I’m betting there’s a rule somewhere about telling your reader that you don’t have anything to say but maybe it’s what you need to hear right now. See I’m betting that you’ve felt this way, or will feel this way, sometime during this month. One of the reasons I started this Blog was to share these thoughts and maybe find someone to tell me that I’m not the only one who has doubts; That this isn’t just me and that it doesn’t mean that I’m not cut out to be a writer. But maybe I had that all backwards; maybe the whole point is so that I can tell you.

There’s a nagging little voice inside of us, all of us, that tells us we aren’t any good. It twists around things and tries to get us to stop, to give up. This voice makes us question ourselves and our abilities.
