I just want to write.... what do you want to do ?

I am a writer. It's that plain and simple. I have done almost every activity and fit in almost nowhere and at this point, that is almost fine. When I was 8 my aunt told me I needed a hobby. Almost all my boyfriends have said the same exact thing. She said I needed to find something I like to do. That's when I started writing. It should be no surprise; my father is a fiction/screenwriter. I wrote a lot of short stories in the beginning and in 1996 at the age of 11 I started my first diary. I am now 22 and I am on my 17th diary and I have decided to publish them. However, like most people, I am struggling with feelings of self-doubt. I am asking myself "Am I good enough?" and "What if I can't find a publisher to publish them?"I know everyone has a story but does that mean mine is any less worth telling? Do you struggle with self-doubt about your gifts or talents? All I know is that I am a writer and as long as I have two hands I'm going to write. Some of the things I have wrote, I go back and read them and I am so proud. What do you do? I wake up and I think about writing. What do you wake up and think about? What do you aspire to be? What do you love to do?
