The title should have been Ms Amaka 's Fear (and Loathing) of Writing because you TRULY captured the way I feel about writing. <br /><br />My greatest problem is SELF DOUBT. If I can overcome that, I might as well find the cure for cancer...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8506921431589903878.post-12792654037284034422011-03-25T00:36:59.099-07:002011-03-25T00:36:59.099-07:00This piece is heartbreakingly honest and true and ...This piece is heartbreakingly honest and true and quite lovely.

I didn't write for a year because of it, but I've come to treat it as a distraction. If ever I don't like something I've written and I feel like backspacing everything, I just say to myself, stop distracting yourself from the matter at hand. Even if I hate the way it reads I put it down because the book has to be written... And I think everything you experience is preparation for the writing so even if you're not doing, your always prepping for it.authorsoundsbetterthanwriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07609155125543070073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8506921431589903878.post-59059947442321270012011-03-19T10:54:15.539-07:002011-03-19T10:54:15.539-07:00I don't know what to say except that I've ...I don't know what to say except that I've read your writings and you have nothing to worry about?
