Writers work alone.

They are always looking for environments that are free of any mental stimulation.

It’s also one of the prime reasons writers struggle.

They either feel too lonely or their mind is too critical.

When alone, if you don’t have the practice, your mind will keep chattering till you either learn to ignore or sit through it.

After writing close to 600 articles in the last year or so, I now know what most newbies don’t.

It is your ability to show up irrespective of what your mind says and believes.

Because when you show up despite the noise, critique and disbelief, you learn to quieten the mind.

It shows your mind things it doesn’t yet know exist.

This separates successful writers from unsuccessful ones.

So, if you think you cannot write, it’s likely because you haven’t yet learned to handle your mind.

Practice and you’ll be surprised.
