Almost everyone says that the hardest part of writing is actually sitting down and writing. 

But I find that the hardest part is having and maintaining confidence and trusting in yourself. Especially if you have something like anxiety and/or depression. 

I constantly doubt myself. My brain is constantly telling me that I’m shit, what I write is shit, and no one wants to fucking read it. But there’s the teeny tiny regular part of my brain that’s like…no you have something really good. Go for it!!!! If people don’t like it then fuck them! 

It’s so hard to to trust in yourself, your abilities, and your idea. But you’ve got to. You’ve got to trust yourself and where you are taking your idea, regardless of whether or not you know where your story is going.

Get a friend to help you and cheer you on. If your writing doesn’t turn out like you wanted, it’s okay, keep working at it. You’ll get there. The more you write and learn, the better you’ll get.
