Dear Writer, You are not alone.

Today in Electric Lit, Lindsay Merbaum writes about the writer’s inner struggle with self-doubt.

“There have been moments where I have considered giving up on writing altogether, but those moments are fleeting and usually born of exhaustion and the frustration that comes with never feeling like there���s enough time for writing, that no matter how many pages I produce, I could���ve written more. Deep down, I know I���ll never quit because I feel a compulsion to write. It can be a torturous, thankless process, but the act of storytelling is so essential to my identity that I���m not sure who I would be without it.”��– Lindsay Merbaum
