Hi! Aspiring author here, did you ever have a time where you were certain you'd never be published?

YES. And that’s when you have to put those thoughts out of your head and keep working.

As writers, we have to walk the line between the confidence to continue and the humility to improve. That’s not always a comfortable thing. But if it helps at all, know that I frequently fall into deep chasms of self-doubt, and wallow around at the bottom.
