One of the things that I learned is that you never truly know yourself until you challenge yourself.

Gather knowledge about the craft of writing. Immerse yourself in the art of it. Then write. Write yourself silly. Write yourself mad. Write yourself blind.

It can be a challenge not to let failure, or negativity from others, prevent you from going after what you believe in and what in your gut you know can work.
