Well, I think we might almost come to our final session.
At some point of time, when you think that you've done a lot of sacrifices for your writing, you might start questioning yourself: Am I a good writer?
And the devil inside yourself will answer loudly: No, you're not. You're nuisance, by following something that is against common senses.
It's time to kick out that little unhealthy and destructive devil, and start making alterations to boost your self-esteem. You are a good writer, you can write a good story, and there's a publisher somewhere who'll publish your book. Trust me. All you need to is create a list so that you can alter what have gone wrong. Act as an editor for your own story, before you allow the publisher to edit it. First thing first, list what you want:

Act as an editor for your own story, before you allow the publisher to edit it. First thing first, list what you want:
- As a writer, you want to write something
- Something worth to read
- And finally, you want your story to get published
It's easy to list things that you want, but it's even easier to list the obstacles that prevent you to achieve it. Admit it, it's when our procrastinator part speak up:
- 'You have no time' is the first and the most popular excuse
- You are lack of imagination
- Fear of failure
- Don't know where to start
The list might go on and on... but I'll stop it by telling you that you've an angel beside you: desire. Remember the reason why you write once again. To fulfill that burning passion on your head? Yes. To share untold experiences with readers? Yes.
So for now, leave you laptop behind, prepare a pen and a note book beside your bed, then turn off the light. Turn on that Feist album (or whoever your preference might be) and let loose. Sleep warm, sleep tight. Rest your head on the pillow. Let dream weave you a spell. And when you wake up, take your pen and note book. Then write. Write anything you want, you don't have to think about any plot or any specific character. If you ever wonder what to write, start with this sentence: 'I remember...', and let your angel guide you through. You'll be surprised with what comes to your mind, and mostly... you'll be surprised that deep within you, you have a capability and talent to actually write something.
