Ruqayyah asked Brooke Nelson:

Hi! What is the hardest thing about writing and how you overcome it? Thank you x

Brooke Nelson Thanks for the question! I think the hardest aspect of writing, for me, is having confidence in my own work. It's been a struggle for me since I penned my first draft of The Half Theft. I have so much love for other authors' work that I often compare myself and I feel that I come up short. But I've come to learn that we all create different stories and my own will not match the next great story I read, and that doesn't mean one of them isn't worthy. Great books come in all shapes and styles.
