Thanks for writing this David. It addresses the question I so often ask myself when I’m filled with self-doubt about my writing skills. The urge to create is so strong, yet time and again I stop and ask myself “why am I writing this.” “Who is it for.” “Who will read it.” And the unanswered questions make me pause and put down the pen. Then, every so often, I get inspired, dive in and share a story on Reedsy (my go-to site for prompts) and feedback like the one I received this morning for my latest piece gives me the answer…and the reason to keep creating. Your reflections here are perfect for this self-doubting writer. Gratitude 🙏

We are all in that space sometimes. The idea is to keep going, keep the "force" in the "fuse."
I really needed this today. Thank you 🙏 ✨
