Am I good enough? It is the question that haunts our minds at one point or another, and if you have written for some time, you know what I mean. You might have 4,5,6 … 15 books under your belt, and that moment of weakness can take your breath away, and with it, chisel a bit of confidence. If you let it, it will keep chiseling until it creates a masterpiece of doubt, and at its worst, of fear. It is at that moment of balancing the writer-self with the ego when one wonders (or wanders), and even dares to question if it all makes sense. If you have been there (or are there), it is normal. Artists, whether writers, painters, sculptors … and any human that is passionate about something, passionate enough to doubt that is, will go through this act of balancing. The image of a circus clown crossed my mind.
Am I good enough? The only way to answer this is to keep going and find out. This is not the time to stop and wonder, but to keep pressing the dream, and regain your breath. At each breath of the pen, the air clears out, and with it any hints of fear that might try to creep up in the writer’s soul. After all, we are in a game of souls, and the mind chooses the setting, and the words flow.
Am I good enough? You’ll never know unless you press on.

Maria, this question emerged in my mind too….but we should keep working, dreaming, perusing our goals …..the results and satisfaction will bring joy to our hearts
Yes, I think that if one never asks this, or has a moment of self doubt, something is wrong. When we are passionate about something, whatever that might be, our self defense mechanism shows up because embarking in a journey always means that we will have to leave our comfort zone. Even when we have been doing something for long, we keep challenging ourselves.
