Let me assure you that you can succeed. You just need to
address your attitude towards your writing.
1)
Prioritise your writing – it is important to you
therefore give it the time it deserves. Do your writing first. If you wait
until all else has been done you will never write.
2)
Do not listen to negative messages – these may
come from your own inner critic or from those around you. You can become a good
writer and you can make money from your writing. Tell yourself this whenever
doubt sets in.
3)
Produce of plan of what you are going to write
over the next five days - if you know exactly what you are going to do then “writers’
block” is less likely to set in. Set realistic goals and achieve them.
4)
Write every day – the surest way to write
something that will make you money is to write something. This can be anything
at all. You might like to invest in a book of short writing exercises; complete
one each day before you start working on your main project. As a starting point
try taking any fairy story (you don’t need to reread it), select one character,
and write a description of that character in today’s world; if you want to make
some notes on the events in their life. Who would a modern day Cinderella be
with a step-mother and step-sisters? What about the Ugly Duckling? You could
end up with an idea for a short story or even a novel.
5)
Never give up – always complete what you have
started even if you do not intend to sell it at this stage. You may choose to
write a shorter version than you originally planned but make sure you finish
it. This way you will train you mind to complete your writing tasks and from
there you can start making money by selling your writing.
I have recently published Write it – how to write your book
