#WritersCoffeeClub #Writing 19 Do you agree with Hillary Mantell, who said the best qualities for writing are self-confidence and a little arrogance?
I'd say yes. Self confidence is mandatory. Otherwise, our own self-doubts can and will stop us before writing the first word. A little arrogance helps, so we can say with confidence "I'm a writer", even to ourselves, without feeling like an imposter. Much…=)
