Be Stubborn
If somebody tells you that you don't have enough skills to write a story, prove to that person that you can. Study, research, and learn. Then write the best story you can. When you get the story published, there won't be any need to tell that person, "I told you I could." You have shown you could.

What a great motivation, Carmen. It sounds like this may have been an experience you've had? If so, it must have been a very good feeling to have shown your published book to the doubter.
Well this is inspiring! Thank you Carmen. This even helps when I am the "someone" who keeps telling myself I don't have enough skills to write a chapter book!
This is exactly how I learned to ride a bike. My mom used reverse psychology and said she didn't think I could do it. I didn't like being told I couldn't do something.
We're all glad you proved you can write a story--many fine stories!
Great advice, Carmen-- Short and to the point!
Good advice Carmen. There are so many things in my life I accomplished simply to prove the naysayers wrong. I'm not sure what that says about me though...
Carmen, I love you. (smile and thank you.)
