‘And by the way…’ Sylvia Plath on the worst enemy to creativity

doubt
And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.
Sylvia Plath

    Self-doubt is an enemy I know all too well. Beneath it is fear, and like all forms of fear, I found it is only beaten by facing up to it and doing what needs to be done. Fear has no chance against doing the right thing over and over again.

    With Love,

    A great visual and a great reminder to let the creative spark free, instead of closing it down. Great quote. Thanks for posting.

If you want to use any of this material contact me and there is a very good chance I will say YES.
However, if you just cut and paste into your own blog or whatever and pass it off as your own then there's a very good chance I will find out. Don't fall into the trap of thinking the internet is so vast and expanding so fast (note the fancy internal rhyme)] that no one will know.
