In this Crafting a 30 Day Novel series, it’s my intention to provide insights every author must face over the course of their book. With any luck the things I detail throughout this series will help aspiring authors to complete their first project and show veteran authors alternative methods that work for others.
In today’s video I discuss the biggest obstacle any author will ever have to overcome…Themselves.
Writing is a mental game. You have to keep the mental side on check. Self-doubt, lack of motivation, depression, the aggravation of having not ‘made it’ yet… These are excuses. And while we all experience them from time to time, we cannot allow ourselves to let them run rampant. We’re writers. We must keep writing!
