Wordly Inspiration from Hilary Mantel, searching for trust that I will still be a writer when I can return to these pages.
"Of course, writers find it difficult to trust themselves. It can seem such an inflated claim, that you are a writer. So you think you have to keep proving it, by persecuting paper with ink or pounding the keys, as if you need a self-justifying witness to your own strength of purpose... You can’t measure your productivity day-to-day in any way the world recognizes."
