Lower Your Fear and Be a Better Writer
Get out of your own way.
To be a better writer, we must do away with the inner voice that continuously saps our confidence, brings on fear, and leaves us clueless about our purpose.
Most people on this planet deal with doubts and fears daily.
We make mistakes and learn from them. Hopefully.
Or we repeat them until we get it right.
It’s a human thing.
But writers are a different breed.
A bit like artists who feel apprehensive and deeply uncertain about their resilient talent.
We take two steps back before moving one step forward. A familiar dance that loops itself in a turbulent cycle.
Even famous writers have dark moments of self-doubt, but they still pursue their stories. If you need proof, then spend some time in a library or bookstore.
No doubt the obstacles on any writing path demands motivation and constructive self-talk, for both new writers, as well as the professional storyteller.
Learn how to dodge those obstacles early on.
