There are different ways to look at doubt. The word itself
means both “hesitation” and “misgivings.”Hesitation can stall you, and misgivings can save you. Neither is necessarily a bad thing.
Trusting the voice of doubt is not only a writing rule, for
me, it’s a life rule. Many times my instincts have made me doubt, and hesitate,
and never once did it turn out badly that I did. The good things always
remained a viable option while the not-so-good for me things faded away,
untouched.
If you’re an aspiring writing, not every option available to
you is good for you. Remember, in the writing world, good for you is good for
your career, and bad for you is bad for your career. You may try and fool
yourself the two are separate, but they are not.
So listen to your instincts when you have doubts. In this
business, it can save you a lot of heartache.

You make a great point here! It is important to listen to your instincts. If you have any doubts make sure you are aware of them and why you have them. They may be unfounded, but that is why it is important to explore why you are having feelings of doubt. Cassie from Mommy, RN
