Maybe that's good enough?

Maybe it has to be good enough.

As inexperienced as I am, I don't really know what being an 'author' really means. Maybe one day I'll figure it out.

Or maybe, I already have...

8/8

But even if that doesn't come to pass, at least I'll know that I gave it my all. Even if I'm the only one who reads and enjoys my words, I'll have at least succeeded at creating something that is wholly my own. Something that I can be proud of for the rest of my days.

7/8

I just pray that one day, at least a single person will read my books to their completion and feel inspired. That they will cherish the worlds, characters, and stories I've envisioned alongside me.

6/8

They say that you have to care about your work, and that it helps breed passion and motivation... but is there such a thing as caring too much?

5/8

What if it's not good enough? What if my inexperience holds me back? I want people to see my vision the way I see it, and to love my story, characters, and world the way I do. These feelings haunt me, and form as an abyss of uncertainty and anxiety in my heart and soul.

4/8

Every draft I learn something new, and things get better... But I'm still so terrified of failure. I care so deeply for my story, that I'm horrified by the thought of a 'final' draft.

3/8

Once I finally built up the courage to start writing, I found a passion, a spark, unlike any other.

Yet, every time I think I have something near completion, I turn back the pages and find more and more work to be done.

2/8

Arthur: "If your story is done, may I ask a question?"

"[Price] Swears like a sailor, but he’s a sweetheart underneath. He just… doesn’t have a filter in the slightest, you know? I think Spiral actually likes him better for it.”
“I don’t think I’ve ever been called a b**** before…”
She laughed. “Believe me, that’s just his baseline."
