As a whole, writers consistently struggle
with self-confidence. Part of that comes, I believe, from working alone.
Another contributing issue is the fact that writing is creating. We bring something tangible
out of nothing and it carries our creative DNA. Both of these factors make it
hard for us to have accurate perspective, so we err on the side of negativity. We tend to think less of our writing—and our abilities—than we ought.
