There is an old saying in the writing world: "The first chapter is always the hardest." The same can be said for completing a book. For many, getting started is the biggest challenge.
If you are like many writers, you may find yourself struggling to finish your book.
Maybe it feels impossible to know where to start, or you feel paralyzed by perfectionism.
In this inspired video, Dr. Gwen, shares some important tips for getting getting started and finishing your book.
It is perfectly natural to feel overwhelmed when starting something new. The fear of the unknown often stops us in our tracks.
In the case of writing a book, many people give up before they even start because they feel they need to have everything figured out before they begin. But that is not how it works (That is why Writeous Publishing exists.)
Finishing a book is an ongoing process, and there will be times when you feel stuck and don't know what to do next. But the important thing is to keep moving forward, one step at a time.
As an author, you know that the writing process is not always easy. In fact, it can be downright difficult at times to push through your perfectionism, procrastination, and imposter syndrome and finally get your book written and published.
It takes time, dedication, and many hours of banging your head against the keyboard. But it is worth it. The sense of accomplishment you feel when you finally finish is unparalleled.
Sooner or later, we all have to face the challenge of putting pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard).
But the important thing is to not give up! The tips that Dr. Gwen has shared in the video should help you overcome these common obstacles and finally achieve your writing goals.
Remember to set realistic goals, seek feedback from trusted sources, and take small steps towards your goal. And most importantly, keep writing!
We believe in you and know that you can do this.
