khaye,

Sometimes you just have to step out and do something … even when you’re terrified.

If you write, you are a writer. You may not be a professional writer, but you are a writer. None of us was very good when we started, but all of us who kept trying got better. Give yourself permission to write badly—that’s the only way you’ll ever learn to write well.

Keep coming back for encouragement and writing tips, and keep writing, even if it’s just short entries in your journal. Every word you write is helping you gain confidence and write better.

I like writing about things but it didn’t made it through anywhere but my journal. I didn’t have the guts. I envy you for having the courage to take on everything. I didn’t have. That’s why I am here. Reading about people who had the guts to do what they want to do and successfully made it through.
