1.
The terrifying emptiness of a blank page.
2.
And of a blank screen.
3.
The guilty pleasure of buying new books when you've got a massive unread pile at home.
4.
Pulling this face whenever someone asks you if you're published.
5.
You procrastinate by just typing random words.
6.
The panic of realising that you've written nothing...for the entire month.
7.
Feeling like everyone in your writers' workshop is trying to show you up.
8.
And completely changing your tune when they praise your work.
9.
Forcing yourself to be positive when you're swimming in rejection letters.
10.
Coming across sections in your work you don't remember writing.
11.
The relief when you finally finish a piece that you've been working on for months.
12.
And the nerves after finally submitting your work to a competition.
13.
The excitement when you get something published and you realise it was all worth it.
