I was 8 years old the first time I saw a big fire.

It was midnight.

The flat above us was burning, but that wasn’t the most memorable part of the night.

What I can never forget is THE man.

A next-door neighbor who climbed up the wall to put out the fire.

This man wasn’t a firefighter.

He wasn’t confident.

All he had was the courage to save lives.

You don’t need confidence to write

What you need is the willingness to give of yourself.

• Your ideas
• Your experiences
• Your way of thinking

Even when you aren’t sure how it’ll turn out in the end.

What if I don’t know what to write?

The blank page syndrome

It’s among the top five diseases that affect writers of all ages, niches, and experiences.

There are many cures.
