Why Are You Staring At Blank Pages?

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we are going to dive into the mindset of writing and what is keeping you from getting started.I did a Facebook live a while back on my page. I want you to take notes and ask yourself what's keeping me from achieving the results I want to have. My primary focus is to help writers manage the writer's block and discover their writing voice. So that is my main focus, my main overall mission. I did not use writing prompts when I started writing my book idea just came to me and I wrote it down. I wrote down the first paragraph and left it for two days. And then after two days, that's when I really came to me like it all of a sudden the voice just started talking to me and I was like, what is that? I just started writing out the words that the character was telling me. I finished the book in three months and it's like completely unheard of these days. It takes people a year to actually write a book, but it actually took me three months. I had a really good writing regime down. We need to get ourselves in a mindset that creates a lot of negativity. It creates all kinds of doubt. It creates everything. And sometimes our mind can be our worst enemy.I choose this topic because I know so many of you want to learn how to get started writing but let me be honest…mindset is everything.When I started out writing I knew nothing about what to do or how to get started. I used no writing prompts. I had an idea and I wrote the first paragraph and left it for 2 days. But it wasn’t until this voice came to me. I was like I couldn’t stop, and you know why I couldn’t… because I let the character voice tell me her story. · Sometimes we need to get ourselves out of the way which is our mind that creates all kinds of doubt and negativity.Get rid of self-doubt (I can't, what-ifs, they mays, etc)Know that everything you write will not become a novel. It is ok if it’s a blog post, short story, or a novella. It is ok if you don’t publish it. It’s ok if it’s a journal entry.Get a piece of paper now and write down why are you staring at blank pages?Let’s dive into today's episode!====================================================================WANT TO START A PODCAST?Grab a copy of my Jump Start Your Podcast Guide.
