Don’t Doubt the Process

Most creatives will tell you they struggle with self-doubt. This is something I battle against on a daily basis. Sometimes, it’s a moment by moment struggle. I wonder if I’m a terrible writer, and this is why my dreams haven’t been fulfilled. I wonder if I’m wasting my time, and the time of those I love. I wonder if I heard God wrong, and this is not my purpose. I wonder a lot. It’s a big problem.

It gives me hope to see that the authors who inspire me were also stricken with similar challenges: the wait, rejections, and debilitating self-doubt. I guess I’m in good company.
