I get lots of questions every week, and 95 per cent of those questions can be answered with: "It really, really REALLY doesn't matter."
Your obsessions stem from a lack of confidence
Writers have many obsessions and all of them stem from a lack of confidence.
For example, it doesn't matter:
* How you format a magazine query; or
* What blogging platform you use - use WordPress, Blogger, TypePad; or
* What you charge - what you charge is up to you. Set a fee, and people will either pay it, or not. You can always change it later. Or -
* What your current credentials are. If your have no writing credits, that's perfectly fine. Everyone starts somewhere. Write some samples... Make it clear you're a new writer. Be honest. It also doesn't matter:
* Whether you've finished your book or not. Send off a query letter to a selection of agents. They'll respond, or not. If they respond, they'll offer suggestions. Accept the suggestions. Or not...
Nothing matters! Make a decision on how you want to do something, and keep writing.
Write more - the key to your writing success
Yes, you can write more - even if you're a world-class procrastinator.
Did you know that when you write more, your writing improves? Many of my writing students experience this. They find that when they write more, writing is easier for them - they're not dominated by their inner editor.
My new writing class, "Write More And Make More Money From Your Writing: Develop A Fast, Fun Productive Writing Process" is based on lessons I developed for my private coaching students to help them to write more, improve their writing, and make more money writing.
If you're struggling with your writing, the class will help. The techniques you'll learn in class with help you write fiction, nonfiction, and copy for business.
Discover how you can write more, improve your writing, and sell more of your writing to higher-paying markets.
Just write, send your material out, and keep writing. If you will only write, nothing else matters.
Please believe this, because it's true.
