“To launch herself into something new—whether a novel, a memoir, a story, an essay—she must first gather up an unreasonable, unearned confidence bordering on lunacy.”

But in writing your fears down, you give them a container, and you can begin to evaluate them—to see which ones are valid and which ones have no grounding in fact.”
― Suleika Jaouad, The Book of Alchemy: A Creative Practice for an Inspired Life
