To all writers:
Please trust in yourselves, have faith in your voices, and tell the stories you want to tell.
Have confidence in your abilities, and keep going.
Remember that you can do this, that you can create your work, and that you are a writer.
Remember, success comes with the discipline to continue the work.
Pick up a pen, or sit at the keyboard, and write!
Thank you!

Sound advice. You can fix a bad manuscript. So get that first draft out there and get down to the REAL job.

This is what writers do, they believe they can write and they do. That simple.

Your post reminds me of Kurt Vonnegut’s spectacular response to a students’ letter to him, where he told them that art can make their souls grow! One can’t help but feel an inch taller after reading it:

Thank you, Charles. I needed this reminder. Again. ∞
I did a “first drafts are #^%” love letter for writers recently and found a bunch of quotes about it. Must…keep…writing.
♥.
