"Be yourself. Those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." -Bernard M. Baruch
Isn't it weird how all of the famous quote guys always add their middle initials? Just a thought.
Today is about self-esteem. Not your character's self-esteem. Not your sister's self-esteem. Yours. Right now, take a moment and say to anyone (including yourself): "I am a good writer. I'm writing as constantly as possible. I've got a very original plot, characters that bring the story alive, and I'm loving every word." Because let's face it: no one's writing is perfect, and because we're always fixing our work, writers can have very low self-esteem. So give yourself a pat on the back, tell yourself good job, and continue writing.

(The second half of that quote was from Dr. Suess, Mr. Baruch stole it!!! *I like that last name...Baruch...*)
ReplyDeleteI think self esteem is extremely important to realize-not only as authors but as everyone. (but mostly authors.) You are right, Authors do tend to have lower self esteems, but so do actors, and really anyone who gets critiqued on anything. Just remember who you are and what matters most to you.
