There’s a major roadblock that stops many aspiring authors from finding success: they take their book too seriously.
These aspiring authors believe that, once completed and published, their novel will define who they are; nay, it will define their
very value as a human being.
They believe the book will launch their professional author careers and transform their lives, bringing them wealth and fame. Paradoxically they also believe it will bring them ridicule, shame, and distain.
They also believe that unless their book is perfect, it will never be appreciated by anyone. In fact, they think it needs to be as good as INSERT YOUR CRITICALLY-BELOVED FAVOURITE-BOOK-EVER HERE.
These writers have so much of
their hopes and dreams and heart and soul invested in these beliefs that it becomes overwhelming. It causes blocks, insecurities, second guessing, and procrastination.
If this sounds like you, then I’m going to share a cold hard truth with you today.
