“But as writers, much of the pleasure of writing is finding our balance. Once we have found our confidence in one type of story, it is not unusual to cast our creative eye toward stories we have never told before and for which we have yet to receive evidence that there are readers as interested in those stories as we are. And so the wobble returns. I know so many writers who have written so many books, and nearly all of them seek a fresh discovery of their confidence with each new story they tell. Sit these authors down privately, and they will share their insecurities with you. Yet it is only a game, really, one that is more interesting when it’s challenging. The insecurity, the wobble, merely reminds us of how interesting it is to find what we know already exists. Discovery never gets dull.”
