One thing I have been putting off is submitting my poetry and short stories to literary magazines.

I don’t know why I have been procrastinating on doing that because my goal is to become a published writer. I do have four pieces published, but I have a better chance of getting more published if I only submit my pieces.

This is my dream. To be a writer, and I can’t make that dream a reality if I don’t get my work out there.

It is due to my insecurity that I don’t try harder to get my work out there. Despite what others say, I feel like I am not a good writer, so I have little hope for myself to actually get published.

As with all my other insecurities, the only way to fight it is to just do it, despite the way I feel. I might surprise myself if I put in the effort. I will never know if I don’t try.

That’s the one thing I have been putting off and really need to try hard to fight.
