Do you feel alone as a writer?

Here is some advice to help you cope with these feelings and keep writing:

– Respect your family’s boundaries and preferences. They might not share your enthusiasm for your novel because they have different tastes, interests, or priorities. That does not mean they don’t love you or care about you.

– Find your own motivation and inspiration. Writing a novel is a long-term project that requires dedication, discipline, and passion. You need to have a clear vision of what you want to achieve and why you want to write it. Remind yourself of your goals and celebrate your milestones and achievements.

– Remember that your family’s opinion is not the only one that matters. You are writing for yourself and your readers, not for them. Seek feedback from writing coaches (me!) instead. Or join a supportive writing support group – like my very own Facebook community! You’ll benefit from constructive criticism, encouragement, and advice that can improve your confidence. 

if you’re looking for more structure, you might like Storytellers Elite – its for writers who know they’re on a journey of improvement. We celebrate each other’s successes, help each other through sticky spots and pool our knowledge.

Until next time, keep writing!
