If you want to write

Brenda Ueland writes a very good book on this topic called 'If you Want to Write - releasing your creative spirit'. However, I want to add to this. I was reading a comment this morning on www.MetaxuCafe.com . A writer was making some fair points about the way new writers are treated by some of the larger publishing houses, namely that if you don't have an agent then you won't be considered at all. A point was also made by a journalist Miller that there is an oversupply of people wanting their work published. Now, I also have an idea that belief is everything. If you believe you will succeed, if you put yourself in resonance and alignment with a thing, deal with your doubts, your negativity; an idea, a dream will manifest. So my thoughts are; if you love to write, then write for yourself, write from your heart, write from your self, to yourself. If you want it published, then keep going, put action in with that intent and never give up, don't talk yourself out of it, 'cause I bet you at the bottom of the negative belief is a fear that your work (your creative child) will not be accepted, or criticised, or putdown etc... No one ever said that publishing is ever easy either for the writer or the publisher, who after all takes the risk to put the work out there, in an already full market, at their own expense and put a lot of effort in then persuading the booksellers to take the books in the first place. Who often, will only take then on a sale or return basis. Difficult it may appear to get work published and selling, but with will, with intent, with belief, there is always a way and that way may manifest in unexpected ways...
