I want to quote two things Stephen King wrote in his book, 'On Writing' - because they are both things I really feel and believe, and I think they're quite important.





"I have spent a good many years since - too many, I think - being ashamed about what I write. I think I was forty before I realized that almost every other writer of fiction and poetry who has ever published a line has been accused by someone of wasting his or her God-given talent. If you write (or paint or dance or sculpt or sing, I suppose), someone will try to make you feel lousy about it, that's all."





"Writing is a lonely job. Having someone who believes in you

makes a lot of difference. They don't have to make speeches.

Just believing is usually enough."

And this one really moved me because it is so powerful, true and important.
