This is a writer's worst enemy. Not just the fear of the blank page, either. It's the fear that you're worth nothing.
Writers are the only people who go into business not expecting to make money, because they do it for love. This confuses the issues.
You can work at a job you love and be paid what you're worth. This isn't a sin. There's no shame in seeking to be paid for your work, even if you enjoy doing it.
The thing is that if you want to be a real indie, you have to be willing to take risks. You must overcome your fears and think of more than just immediate return on investment.
