I enjoy reading, but often wonder if I should write something myself instead? I have more ideas than I know what to do with, but a nagging voice inside my head tells me that none of them are good enough. How do authors resolve this inner dialog?

Although I have many years of formal education, most of what I've learned has come from experimenting and trying to solve problems on my own. Once an idea for a project is set in my mind, it is all-consuming and one must learn everything possible about the subject on the way to the outcome. For learning is more than reading books and spoken word, it is hours of frustration, trial and error, and one sudden flash of insight when the world magically makes sense. It is during this moment when I am truely alive.
