We are told to write about what we know... And while that is very good advice, it can become somewhat limiting. I wrote a book of 10-11 year olds who are smarter than I was at that age - perhaps that was my first step ;) This is a wonderful post, and really helps shatter the ‘glass ceiling’ of writing.

I'm no stranger to going in over my head. When I started writing my novel, which was an epic fantasy with four distinct points of view from creatures I just made up, I had no idea what I was in for. Once I learned to trust my instincts, the story came--eventually. Thanks for the article. I’m no stranger to going in over my head.

Which is good. The bad part is when the "Me? No Way" kicks in and my tendency is to believe that voice. I think I'll choose to be terrified until tomorrow and see what happens. :) I had an idea today that has me terrified. Which is good. The bad part is when the “Me?
