Finding the courage to write does not involve erasing or “conquering” ones fears. Working writers aren’t those who have eliminated their anxiety. They are the ones who keep scribbling while their heart races and their stomach churns. — Ralph Keyes

Very deep. I do agree with you my friend. You must overcome all obstacles for you to finish your work. Being a writer is hard but fulfilling.

Wow, having courage to write does not involve erasing or “conquering†ones fears but keeps writing because it’s the blood that flows in you. You can’t just feel good without it.
I agree with my friend. One has to get past all the hurdles in life.
You are right, the huddles and obstacles should be an experience that makes your work unique. Never stop but keep writing
Just the exact desciption. Its so hard to write without feeling the content that you are writing.
A little bit confusing but I agree. For me though courage is not about having the absence of FEAR but what we do while in it. My own spin on the quote. Ha ha.

Nice quote, same with life things are neither here or there. You just have to move with time.
I work with a publishing industry and I spoke with authors. I am with them when they are still creating their manuscripts. They have struggles and inorder to finish their bool they really need to have inspiration.
You are correct and hurdles should be an experience from which you can learn. You need to write consistently.

As with most things, writing needs resilience. You have to keep pushing no matter what.
Writers go through challenges like everyone else. What sets them apart is their resolve to keep writing no matter what.
