You’ve dreamed of writing a book.
You want to be known as the author of …
You’ve had it on your to-do-list for years. And yet …nothing. It’s not that you don’t recognize the benefits of a published book to your credit it’s that you’re afraid to get started because of the following;
You’re scared to death to put yourself out there.
You’re afraid of the critics and family and friends and what they’ll think. You’re afraid they’ll laugh at you or worse.
You silently wonder, “Can I really do this?”
If you’re nodding along in agreement, know this;
No matter where you are right now it’s possible to break down these fears.
First, realize that critics will always be there however, just as many if not more people will be your biggest fans. And your loyal readers are the ones who will buy your books and recommend you to their friends. Write for them. Write for you. Write for the fun of it.
Writing sharpens your mind. And the joy of creating something can’t be taken away from you.
It’s possible to cultivate unshakeable confidence in yourself. The more you write the more you will believe in yourself and the writing will get easier. Eventually you will have the courage to face the blank page and ignore the critics.
You have my permission to let go of the doubts clouding your mind. Just start by starting.
Keep Writing!
Which of these fears have kept you from writing?
Writing happens when you stay consistent and keep encouraging yourself
that it’s okay to put words on the page.
