You’re Allowed to Be a Beginner at This
Writers often quit not due to inability but because of unrealistic expectations of their skills. Embracing the learning process as a beginner is essential. Resting is part of writing growth, and progress can come from small, consistent efforts. Confidence grows with community support and self-acceptance, allowing writers to thrive.https://dreamspacestudio.net/youre-allowed-to-be-a-beginner-at-this/
Publishing Imperfect Work on Purpose
Writers often feel unready to publish, waiting for perfection that never comes. Acknowledging fear and embracing imperfection facilitate growth. Sharing work, even when unfinished, fosters connection and builds visibility. Gentle shipping respects individual rhythms, promoting sustainable writing practices. Ultimately, engaging with an audience enhances learning and resilience, transforming vulnerability into strength.https://dreamspacestudio.net/publishing-imperfect-work-on-purpose/

Lessons in Self-Doubt: What My First Feedback as a Writer Taught Me
In this episode of Have a Cup of Johanny, I open up about one of the hardest lessons I learned as a new writer: how self-doubt shaped the way I received my very first feedback.
Like many new writers, I just wanted people to love me and love my project. But instead of pausing and filtering through the feedback, I took it all to heart. I changed everything. And in the process, I lost the story I wanted to tell—and almost lost my voice as a writer altogether.
Here’s what this experience taught me:
✨ Why confidence is key when receiving feedback.
✨ How to pause before reacting so feedback becomes a tool, not a takeover.
✨ Why self-doubt can derail your creative process if you don’t learn how to stand in your truth.
These lessons echo deeply in my debut novel The Ordinary Bruja, where Marisol must also confront the voices of doubt and learn to trust herself.

A cinematic feature length movie, is perhaps the greatest & best example of job creation by any industry in comparison. But when $filmmaking wannabe's who can't cut it in the industry want to jump in they use shortcuts, much like #DeGenerativeAI is being used now. It takes the #Art, #CreativeConfidence, synergy & has given us a source for imagination. Creating #Unemployment for upwards of a thousand creatives easy, per project.
Say no to piracy, #GenerativeAI encourage ownership models.
P.S. I don’t regret trying something new. :) I’ve spent most of my life building my #creativeconfidence, I will not let one web page take it away. 💪
I’m happy that the design process still gives me a high. Creating something from scratch and having people test it (and eventually use it!) is such a wonderful experience. 😌💗
