I’m confident that I have the ability to be a good writer, but sometimes I have doubts about my stick-to-itiveness.Like most people, I have had grand plans that never amounted to anything. I have started projects without finishing them. I have made promises to myself that I didn't keep.
Why will writing a novel be any different? Because in my mind, this novel is real—incomplete, barely started, but very real. Not just a daydream, but a reality (to me at least, as crazy as it sounds).
And yet I can’t help worrying that maybe one day soon it won’t feel so real. I’ll lose interest and move on to something else. I don’t think that will happen, but how can I be sure?
I just need to stick with it. Every day.

I think writer's fear two things - one, that their writing isn't good enough, and two, that they won't be able to finish. I'm sure you'll be okay, Ms Shea - just keep pushin' :)
