Have you ever felt that your talent is lacking or that all efforts you've made with writing have been wasted? Have you ever teetered on the edge of despair and felt like the chasm of defeat is just waiting to shallow you whole? I confess this is the most devastating part of being a writer and at times feel like it will be the end of all my creative genius. But instead of looking at these times as a curse it may help to view them as a catalyst for pure creativity. A beginning to something new. Destitution bears the fruit restitution. Consider this... that every down has an up and every up has a down and so on. It is an endless cycle that repeats over and over. It's a cycle of creativity, productivity, success, and uncertainty that dives headlong into a total distrust of your abilities.
If you've reached bottom and are sure that you are a complete failure, have faith, because your circle is about ready to come round again. It's our darkest hours that show us the measure of ourselves and give us the resolve to be better. It's those times that makes the ups so damn good and gives us the creativity to do great things. Have faith that you are special and that you can be what you dream, because it's that belief that will take you where you want to go.
Every trip around that circle only solidifies your purpose and makes it stronger. Yes, mistakes will be repeated and things will have to be relearned, but it's that eventual accumulated knowledge which molds us into a bedrock for the future. So keep your chin up and welcome the never ending circle, because every passage along the circuit will bring you closer to being the best you can be.
