Art glows with faith even in its weakest parts. At every moment, writing is an act of self-confidence — the sheerest, most determined, most stubborn self-belief. You CAN have faith and doubt at the same time; the most insecure writer on the planet has faith that shines just as bright as her doubt, and she deserves props for that. It might be hidden deep, she might not feel it and you might not see it, but it’s in there, or she wouldn’t be able to write. .Kristin Cashore
About This Quote
Writing is a difficult task and requires a lot of faith to complete. A writer must have faith in herself as well as her own work as she is the one who will be judged by her work. In order to achieve the best results, a writer must have faith in her ability to create a piece of art that would have impact on people over time. However, it is not only the writer who must have faith in her work but also those who read her work that is inspired by her words, thus creating a chain of inspiration that leads into a chain of creation that leads into a chain of faith. With this chain, no matter how small or big the inspiration is, it glows with faith even in its weakest parts.
