Posts Tagged ‘Fear of failure’

Returning to a writer’s key fears, today I’m going to explain the fear of failure. This is perhaps the easiest fear to understand, as failure plays such a big role in our society.

It’s a common trait for writers who are afraid that things might go wrong, or not turn out in the perfect way they had hoped, to rarely start a project in the first place.

To add fuel to the fire, if they take the negativity a step further and continue imagining scenarios where everything goes wrong, or reminding themselves about times when they feel they failed in the past, things generally become much worse.

Fear is like a poison. It stops you from living the life you are here to live. Instead turn the tables! Write lists of your achievements, or times in your life when you feel you have shone. If you can include any writing related achievements then even better! Read these lists over and over until the information sinks in and you can begin to feel good about yourself again.

Feed that new you with a fresh creative writing project and watch your confidence blossom to new heights. Make the decision to have a book published, take action then watch doors open unto miracles.

Love & Light,

The Word Queen
