Love this post. Question for you: I'm not scared of writing and have published a few books in the past. One a recent children's book. BUT.....I've had an idea for a certain book for nearly 5 years now and I'm so excited by the concept and story that I'm almost a little frightened to start! Have you ever come across that before? Any advice welcome

I love this message, when you face fear in the face, you realise it's made up of different inaccurate stories in your head.

Completely agree - getting the first draft out of your head and onto paper/screen/slate etc is the biggest hurdle.
