Yes, great works can be intimidating, but no one else in the world has what you have—your voice, your eyes, your feeling and perspective.

I have a pesky little critic in the back of my mind. He’s a permanent fixture and passes judgment on everything I write.In order to placate him, especially when I’m endeavoring to write anything as ambitious as a novel, I have to constantly mutter, ‘I’m not writing a masterpiece, I’m not writing a masterpiece.’This mantra lulls him into a kind of stupor so that he pays no attention to what I’m doing, because after all, I’m not claiming it’s any good. Slowly, and secretly, one page at a time, I write my story.I know I’ve succeeded when he grudgingly admits, ‘That’s pretty good.’ And if I’m lucky, every once in a while, I blow him away.
