I want to let my emotions fall onto a page just like I imagine someone who makes money at writing doing
I imagine they sit in front of their computers
just typing endlessly; as if the ideas just flow from their fingertips
without the slightest effort
I don’t know if that happens or not
I've never actually met a successful writer
But, I imagine that John Conolly didn't always have great ideas
I’m sure J. K. Rowling didn't just throw Harry Potter on to a page without using the backspace key on a few paragraphs
or hell, maybe even whole chapters
I know I have the capacity to write wonderful fiction
I just have to get over the fear of sounding stupid
I can fix that
I have great ideas
First things first, I need to learn when to stop
