About This Quote

When you write something in the dark, you are only seeing the words on the page. It’s like you’re blindfolded and holding a candle with your hand. If you want to see what you’ve written, you need to put your hand underneath the paper and light the candle of your thoughts. This is not an easy thing to do for many people who don’t want to be bothered by their own ideas.

Some people don’t want to put their ideas out there for others to see. They don't want to be judged by others. Even if they think they are writing something that is great, they are afraid of what others may think.

They hide behind their pen while trying to write in the dark.
