⚔️Writer’s Thoughts - Feelings: Self-Doubt

Self-Doubt is the slithering snake in my ear. Those soul-deep concerns of inadequacy and unworthiness responding to the hiss. After finally getting to a point of “letting go, and handing over” my story, where I’m unhealthily aware of the mistakes and the errors and the inaccuracies from page 1 to the END.

I’ve grappled in duality: “You’re amazing for getting this far. It’s incredible to have people who are willing to read it.” to “You’re a joke. Your own hype doesn’t match your words. You’ve failed yourself in not producing better work.”

Then, while sitting here trying to ease the knot in my stomach, I put the device down and looked up. I surveyed the abundance of life before me. I became immensely grateful for the hard work and effort I put in, in every aspect of my life.

Those hissing thoughts don’t have tongues anymore 🗡️. My desire for creating and storytelling will remain, and my skill will grow, and I will keep showing up doing what I want for my story. I will Battle On!
