“Push through the self-imposed barrier and take a chance. It’s worth it.”
“If you never take that first step, you won’t have the opportunity for the pieces to fall into place”.”
“Whatever it is you do, you’ve got to sell yourself or something.”
“Anybody can write— all you have to do is find an editor to make it readable.”
Let others learn from your experiences—write.
