About This Quote

The writer is someone for whom writing is more difficult than it is for other people. This is because they have to learn to trust themselves, to know what they are capable of doing. When you feel nervous about an assignment or are having trouble coming up with ideas, you might find that you are less productive than you would be if you thought your work was easy. The writer must have confidence in their own abilities. They have to believe that they can do the job well.
