being a writer is a delicate balancing act

You know, being a writer can be a rollercoaster of emotions. One moment, you're anxious about writing, the next, you're anxious about not writing. It's like a never-ending tug-of-war with your own thoughts.

And let's not forget the anticipation of people reading your stories. It's a mix of excitement and fear. Will they love it? Hate it? Will they even bother to read it? The uncertainty can drive you up the wall.

But then again, there's also the anxiety of people not reading your stories. It's like pouring your heart onto the page only for it to go unnoticed. It can be disheartening, to say the least.

And editing? Oh boy, that's a whole new level of anxiety. You're torn between wanting to perfect your work and being afraid of ruining it. It's a delicate dance of self-doubt and meticulous scrutiny.

But here's the catch: even when you're bursting with ideas, anxiety sneaks in. Having too many ideas can be overwhelming. You're drowning in a sea of possibilities, unsure of which one to pursue. It's like having a thousand puzzle pieces without a clue where to start.

Then there's the agony of not having any good ideas at all. The blank page stares back at you, mocking your creative drought. The fear of running out of inspiration gnaws at your soul.

And time, oh precious time. Not having enough of it is a constant struggle. You yearn for more moments to dedicate to your craft, to dive into your imagination. But ironically, having too much time can be equally daunting. The vast expanse stretches before you, and suddenly, the pressure to produce something remarkable becomes overwhelming.

So, you see, being a writer is a delicate balancing act. Anxious about writing, anxious about not writing. Anxious about readers, anxious about being ignored. Anxious about editing, anxious about ideas. Anxious about time, anxious about too much time. It's a wild ride, but one we willingly embrace, hoping that our words will resonate with someone out there.
