Is it 'good enough'?

Recently I've been writing a little e-book to give away to subscribers to my website and I'm sure many people who know me are wondering if I have gone completely mad.

And I must admit I have had the wobbles about it, asking the BIG question: What if it isn't good enough? That big question often opens the door to a lot more self doubt: why would anyone be interested in what I have to say? People will laugh at me, I'm no good at writing...

In the end though, I came around to more positive thoughts: we are all unique and different and although my writing will not appeal to everyone, it will appeal to those for whom it has been written.

I enjoy writing, I enjoy creating something which I would like to read myself and I like making it look visually attractive too. Perhaps I have to accept reality - I may not be a best selling author (although I'd never say never), but I have had a lot of fun having a go at being creating.

So don't let self doubt stop you from taking a big step forward - trust in your ability to make some people happy for some of the time!
