I love this comment, Veronica. Doubt really is an insistent whisper.

Jenny, I think I am the same. This blog did not come together in the first few drafts and I definitely got feedback before sending it.

Barb, that is so true. We all have a stronger side so we know which one we are looking to our peers to help us balance.

Debbie, I love the bowling analogy with the bumpers in place! Thanks for sharing that with us.

I agree, Veronica! Sometimes it feels like your brain keeps going subconsciously even after you stop writing for the day.

I really enjoyed the idea that imagination is the "opposite" of doubt. Gives me a lot to think about.

I have a solid case of ADHD, so I really have to work sometimes to not let the "Doubt" side spiral out of control.

Amen, Debbie! That happens all the time. But how cool is it that your imagination is throwing out all sorts of shiny things for you!

This is very helpful. It may be another way of explaining the right brain-left brain theory. You need both the logical side to edit and the creative side to get fresh ideas.
