    i have lack of confidance too so gave what i had written to my brother and he said it was very good, altough after reeding the seven chapters i had back to my self i thought the sub plots were good but the main story seemed to much like david gemmell, i started something else and put that to one side and i am very happy with what i have so far. but confidance is always an issue with me, i accidently left the story on the screen and a friend red it an wont stop naggin to reed the rest

    Thank you so much …
    Thank you so much for the videos you have uploaded. Im writing a novel now, and persistence is the tough part. The reason for my being so anticipated to stop writing is not from boredom, but lack of patience. I keep telling myself ‘this is going nowhere. Ive also had trouble with believing that someone would want to read what Ive written, you could say lack of confidence.
