Goodreads asked Michael P. Smith:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Michael P. Smith The crippling self doubt, the paralysing fear of failure, and the heartbreak of rejections.

You're crippled, scared, and heartbroken because you're doing something so huge it is terrifying.

Enjoy the angst. Lean in to it. That's how art is made.
