Struggling

I'm really struggling with writing.

I've been blaming it on being busy or because of the disaster my life has been lately, but really, it's because I'm scared. Completely terrified.

I'm finally at a point in my life where writing a book and getting published is a realistic goal.

I've graduated high school.

I don't have to worry about getting my mom's approval to do it.

But I'm so afraid of rejection.

Which is odd because I've spent the last 4 years auditioning for show after show with nothing but rejection, I should be used to it by now.

But at the same time, can you ever truly get used to rejection? There's always going to be that feeling in the pit of your stomach when it happens again...
