Its comforting to know that successful published authors doubt themselves, their work, or their right to write at all. Not comforting to know that the only way to get through it is to keep writing in spite of it all. Dani Shapiro is brutally honest. Writing is never pretty, not always worthwhile, and often leaves us feeling vulnerable. But writers do it, because they have to.

She’s spot on with her description of the internet as a time waster that will drag you down. If I could stop “researching” I might actually get a blog post written.

I love that you were able to do so here, PLUS the book was about writing itself.
