The Eagle's Pen

I know the feeling; the weight of a story that will not stop beckoning unto you, mixed with the fear of putting it out there. Life gets overwhelming, and doubt sets in, then you begin to feel trapped in silence (not writing anymore).  Listen! You are not just a writer. You are a messenger, and your message matters! You don’t need perfect conditions. You just need to start. Write with what you have! Write tired! Write unsure! Write anyway! Just write!  Every book you love was born because someone decided to push past the blur and do the work bit by bit, word by word. I tell you; you were never meant to fit in! You were built for the sky! Even when your voice feels low and the world feels too big, just write! I am rooting for you! Katherine Ile
