I constantly second guess things, but I'm trying to give myself the support that I would give to a friend who is a writer. I know that as a writer, I can be too close to a project to see its value.

I had a friend today who commented about falling in love with a project again. It stunned me because I couldn't imagine NOT being in love with that project... but she's a writer, and her self-confidence had slipped. Oddly, seeing that encourages me... because if someone THAT good can have moments of doubt, maybe there's hope for me?

Very well said. Yes - keep trying and eventually you will gain the self- confidence. It’s a marathon, not a sprint.

The first time is a little rougher.

It's harder for those who have obstacles of any kind, but it is still achievable eventually, and you will know because you can dump Impostor Syndrome, and a whole host of other negative thoughts - and just work when you can.

It comes down, in the end, to whether you're going to put the work in, however many hours it takes, to learn your profession as a writer. If you want it enough, you'll find the time, keep on track, solve each problem that comes - and put that book out there.
