Writers Who Persevere Despite Fear Triumph

When writing, everyone occasionally faces a wall of uncertainty and doubts themselves.

'Will this work ever see the light of day, or will it fade into obscurity?'

A person's future is always uncertain, and no matter how much we try to predict it, there is no perfect answer. So, we shouldn't stop writing because of uncertainty.

Feeling fear is not unusual. Just remember that if you keep writing through that fear, the fear will eventually fade to the point where you won't even remember feeling it.

The outcome of whether my work succeeds or fails is a matter of luck. So, instead of clinging to things I can't control, I need to focus on the present act of writing. Despite the fear of the future and uncertainty, those who keep writing are destined to succeed.

▶ Fear subsides with persistence. Light and darkness coexist, and then light gradually spreads and expands.
