it's called The Courage to Write: How Writers Transcend fear.

writing a book is no cake walk; it usually incites tremendous anxiety in the author to the point that many give up before they ever finish a manuscript. Others finish the manuscript, but never get the courage to drop it into the mailbox to make its way to a publisher. Writing for public consumption is described by many famous authors as feeling like you're dancing naked for strangers. I think it was E.B. White (Charlotte's Web and Stuart Little author) who said that anyone who writes for the public begins by voluntarily dropping his pants.

If you're thinking of writing a book and are serious, give this book a read. You may find that you really do have the ability and just need that nudge–or you might find that working months, and maybe years, under the inescapable anxiety that writers face is just not for you.

or, you could avoid the link altogether and still entertain the dream that you'll get to it “one day.”
