I'm reading a terrific book right now entitled, Do It! Let's Get Off Our Butts by Peter McWilliams.  In it he shares his thoughts on Fear, Guilt, Unworthiness, Hurt Feelings, Anger and Discouragement, emotions nearly every author experiences at some stage in their career.

Fear is the energy to do our best in a new situation.

Guilt is the energy for personal change.

Unworthiness keeps us on track.

Hurt Feelings remind us how much we care

Anger is the energy for change.

Discouragement reveals our courage.

Wow, powerful stuff, but what an awesome way to reframe our emotions into something powerful we can use to be better people and writers.

Anyway, just a little food for thought.
