Real Life of an MSW

Let’s start with the daunting part: fear. What if we’re eager to find ourselves on the page but afraid? What do you say?

What has helped me overcome this is realizing that fear of the page is usually discomfort with sitting with the self—because that’s where you’re laid bare. That’s where you have to listen and hear yourself. So sometimes, when I’m sitting down, I recognize that it’s not so much writing that I fear; it’s that I’m going inward. And it’s very normal to have some resistance to that at first. It’s very human. That’s why meditation is hard. That’s why yoga is hard. That’s why any kind of practice of meaningful self-inquiry is hard. So I tell people: Accept that a little resistance is human. It doesn’t mean that you’re not meant to write, or that you’re not a real writer. Creativity is a human birthright. – Joy Sullivan
