If you’re going to be a writer, you must learn to forgive yourself. Writing is hard enough as is without that guilt.

Patrice Caldwell is a twentysomething introvert gone wild. By day, she’s a book editor, and by night, weekend, and early morning (if she’s had enough green tea) she’s a writer. You can learn more about Patrice, her writing, editorial wishlist, favorite books, and general musings at her website. You can also find her on Twitter, her secondary home.

I actually have a couple of things in the queue, guys, but in the meantime: Forgive yourself for that project you never finished. Forgive yourself for that story you never wrote. Forgive yourself for the words that wouldn’t come. Don’t hold on to that guilt.
