    If you feel like fear is holding you back as a writer don’t worry you’re not alone!


    Even the most experienced writers have gone through the feeling of not being good enough, or the fear of rejection, or whatever it might be. It’s completely normal to feel this way since writing is a very personal thing and you can feel vulnerable but don’t let that feeling hold you back in your creative journey.


    Your message to the World


    Putting your writing out there for everyone to read, can make you feel scared and unsure of yourself but don’t ever let that stop you!


    Feedback is an Opportunity


    Write everyday and post your content even if it’s not your best work. Look at it as an opportunity to improve and take criticism as an opportunity to grow your writing skills. Feedback is important to help you become a better writer.


    What’s your “Why”?


    Remember why you are writing and know that the world needs to hear your message. People need to hear what you have to say and your message has the potential to resonate with so many people (while you might be thinking no one’s going to read it)

    .. you can truly make a difference and inspire others with your work! (even when you might not think so) ..So always remind yourself that YOU CAN! And then go and write!


    Connect with other Writers


    Writing doesn’t always have to be done in solitude. You can join fb writing groups, reach out and share ideas with other creatives and network with other writers on platforms like LinkedIn or on other social platforms .


    The Value of Community


    Having other writers there along the way can give you the push you need to put your ideas to paper and they can motivate you when you’re feeling stuck and don’t know where your inspiration has gone!

    Besides, being part of a writing community is more fun and can be exactly what you need to fuel your writing journey!
