Through the years I’ve discovered something about writing
that I never expected. I always believed that to be a successful writer you had to learn to write better, be diligent about networking and keep submitting. Those are all important, but it turns out the biggest things that affect my writing
happen in my head.
By allowing all sorts of negative thoughts, emotions and
habits creep into my mind I was defeating myself before I put the first word on
the page. I’d like to share 8 things that will derail your writing goals the
fastest, and invite you to learn from my mistakes.
