Bad guy Quote by Rob Parnell
““The writer becomes a superhero every time he or she sits down to write. We must excel ourselves with each new writing project, we must fight off our demons and win in order to grow. Writing, in this sense, is series of personal tests. Because to better ourselves and become successful, we must become masters of defeating self-doubt and limiting beliefs (the real bad guys.)””
