Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we often might win, by fearing to attempt.
--Jane Addams

I have learned over the years that when one's mind is made up, this diminishes fear; knowing what must be done does away with fear.
--Rosa Parks

God is our refuge and strength,a very present help in trouble.Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way,though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea.
--Psalm 46:1-2

New Fear

So for the last year or so I have been working on a novel. I have no professional training as a writer -- all I have is faith, prayers, and dreams that I will become a successful novelist. Today I feel overwhelmed by all the pages that are yet to be written. I also feel intimidated by the plethora of books out there. How can/will mine possibly compete?

My fear is that I'll never get published and that publishers will think my story line is crap. I am facing that fear by continuing to write, continuing to pray, and continuing to dream.

What's your fear? How are you facing it?
