From Low Confidence, to On Fire (F@ck You)!
I allowed my fear of being judged to control me for a long time. When I went to university to study for my BA, I was a mature student who was 37 weeks pregnant with my third and youngest child. I had to take 2 weeks off following the birth (I was told I had to withdraw if I took more time off), and I was told they would send me the work.

It’s Time to Overcome YOUR Writing Barriers
I remember when I first overcome my own writing barriers. It just a few years ago, and at the time, I was already a published writer at the time.
