Doubts, don't we all?

I have doubts about my dream.

Am I chasing the wrong dream?

I love to write, no doubt about that. But does that mean it should be a hobby or a profession? How does one know if they have what it takes to do something or whether they should pursue something else and still do what they truly love to do in their spare time? Of course you can ask others to read your writing and give you their opinion. That's great. Do people honestly tell you the truth or do they tell you what they think you want to hear?

I recently wrote a spec script for my favorite show. I thought it was pretty good, not to be modest. I worked hard on it. I sent it off to a few places and was rejected. Now I admit, there were a few typos, for which I promptly kicked myself after discovering them. Rejection is expected. I don't welcome it but I accept it. What hurts is not knowing why you were rejected. Especially when you thought you nailed it.

Oh well, I shall continue to write, blindly I suppose but still trying.
