The trick (IMO) is to share your time between being insecure and feeling confident in ones work, but most of us can only do this with feedback, learning, practice. An of course, support.

Does that stem from insecurity? Maybe a little. But I think empathy for others is the biggest component, and it's stronger if you have things in common. Making a go of writing became so difficult for me due to lack of support at home, it was a huge relief when a writer asked me to edit or pay. The less support from home, the more you need other writers to validate your worth. Sher A.

I've never seen so many people so eager to help, offer advise or words of wisdom from their own experiences and cheer for our tiny victories as I have in the writing community.
