Before you read any
further, let’s get one thing straight. YOU ARE A WRITER! You may not be a
working writer. You may not have made any money at it. You may not have put much down on paper in
quite a while. But if you paid for this article, I would wager you have written
something in the past, which makes you a writer. Being a writer means you tell
a story, give advice, and put it down on paper with the intention that people
will read it, and get something out of it. Everyone has a story to tell, and
you are no different.
Ok with that
said, let me tell you what this article is about. This article is about the
daily psychological struggles you as a writer go through. Being a writer myself,
I know them well. Every problem I address here I have been through and still
face on a daily basis when I sit down to write. This article will tell you how
to get rid of those struggles, and let you realize that every one of them has
been cultivated in your mind with the sole purpose to hinder your dreams.
Those struggles are as follows:
·
Procrastination
·
Fear
·
Laziness
·
Having a day job
·
Confidence in
your writing (thinking you’re writing is
crap)
·
The myth called
“Writers Block”
·
Wanting to give
up
All of these
problems are made up by you. I will show you why, and I will give you solutions
to get rid of them.
This book is not
a “how to” guide on how to become a writer. You already are one! That is the
first problem that new writers face. You say to yourself “ I wish I could be a writer.” Well here’s the big secret. The magic wand
swish you have been looking for to make your dreams of becoming a writer come
true. Are you ready? The best way to become a writer is….. WRITE SOMETHING!
It’s that simple. This article just helps you along in the process.
So now that we
got that question taken care of, are you ready to tackle more important
problems? Good! Keep reading!
I know what it’s like to think
you have Writer’s Block
First thing you need
to realize is “Writer’s Block” is a myth. If you truly had “Writer’s Block” you
would be in a wheelchair somewhere drooling all over yourself. Saying you have
“Writer’s Block” is like saying you’re mind has shut off, and there is nothing
firing upstairs. Every day you are writing. Your texting (unless you are a
hundred years old), you’re writing down a grocery list, you’re writing an
email, your telling all your friends on Facebook about the funny thing your cat
did. Hey there’s an idea! Write about your cat! Send him on an adventure! Just
in the process of thinking is writing.
