Why Are You Staring At Blank Pages?

Send us a textIn 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.
