Did you ever have a time when no one believed in you? I think writers must experience this feeling more frequently than most professions. The constant questions of 'why do you write if the story may never get published?', 'how can you take the constant rejection?', 'why spend all that time in front of the computer when nothing may ever come from it?'
Believe. Such a small word, but provides so many with the courage and inspiration to keep going. Just saying to someone, 'I believe it will happen', stops any comeback from their close-minded thinking. Hasn't everyone believed in something so much that giving up was never an option? Or, maybe, it's just us writers who share this idealistic quality.
I'm okay with that, are you?
