Confidence is key to effortless writing. Yet, the biggest obstacle I have to writing well is lack of confidence. It doesn’t matter how much experience you have or how talented you are, you won’t go so far unless you are confident of what you have to offer.

Sometimes I will take hours trying to figure out how to start the first sentence. There is an emotional stage I go through every time I write a paper, where I have been at it for five minutes and I’m already hating myself.
