Have you felt like quitting on writing lately?

Maybe you’ve just started that book you’ve been excited to write, and feel overwhelmed with how big finishing this project seems. Or maybe you’re halfway through a first draft of your book – in the messy middle – and it’s starting to look impossible to make sense of it.

If that’s how you’ve felt lately, you’re not alone.

Every book I’ve written, I’ve felt like quitting at one point or another. Either the beginning would seem too overwhelming, the middle was too confusing, or as I neared the end, I struggled with finishing for fear of getting it out into the public where my words might be criticized or be rejected by readers.

 

Don’t Quit Writing…

I want to encourage you today dear writer… don’t quit.

Fear will always be with you as a writer. It’s normal.

As you continue to write, you’ll learn strategies on how to push past the fears that hold you back from finishing your book.

That’s something I’ve continued to learn ever since I began blogging and writing books seven years ago. There are strategies that I’ve learned to continue to grow my writing practice, which has also helped give me the confidence I need to push past my fears to make “finishing” a regular practice in my life.

You can continue to push past fears and resistance to write and finish your book or books.

You can turn an overwhelming project, into simple steps that you can finish within the time frame you’ve set.

You can reach your writing dreams.

Keep going. You can do this!
