Becoming an author takes an immense amount of courage. It's one thing to write our stories, it's a whole other thing to share our writing with our critique groups and eventually to an editor, agent or publisher. the quality of mind or spirit that enables a person to face
difficulty, danger, pain, etc., without fear;bravery.
To me it's like releasing my children to school for the first time. It's heart wrenching watching our children go off on their own for the first time. Our writing is much like our "babies" being released into the world. Self doubt often creeps in, but don't let it wash away your courage.
For without courage, your words will never be published.
Wishing you much courage and success on the roller coaster ride of publishing!
