It’s important to believe in
yourself. Get into the habit
of writing everyday, practically
daily.

Have a good excuse why
you can’t write a specific
day. Don’t allow yourself
to get into the habit of
inventing reasons for not
writing.

Simply, write everyday.

“Why write everyday?” You
asked.

Writing everyday helps hone
your skills. You become a
better writer, and have work
available to sell, show-case.

Write pass the doubters.

“Who are the doubters?” A
few pondered.

Doubters are the people who
don’t believe you have what it
takes to be a writer.

“Get a real job.” Some
doubters said.

“Yer wastin’ time wit dat
writin’ stuff.” Others
complained.

“They hirin’ at Wal-Mart.”
A friend shared.

There is nothing wrong
with working at Wal-Mart.
Still, work on your writing
dream.

Find time during the day
or night for writing. Allow,
at least, two hours for
writing.

You were tired some days,
but managed to scribble a
few notes down on paper.

It counts as writing.

However, I question why
doubters push to see you
do anything else, but write.

Do they see your talent, and
are afraid you’ll succeed?
Perhaps, they’re afraid
you’ll tell some truth. They
envy your dedication to
your dream? They don’t
want you to be more than
average like them? Beware
of such people.

Often, it becomes a problem.

Sit down, and write about
it. Ask yourself some
questions. Why is he/she
pushing me away from my
dream? Is it real friendship?
Jealousy? Is he/she looking
out for my interest? Why
doesn’t he/she believe in my
talent? Is it time to leave
him/her in the past?

Swirl your answers into
fiction, or non-fiction.

Look at a possible idea
for fiction. A friend
stood by a character and
his/her dream. When the
character’s dream was
about to come true, the
friend tried to plant doubt
in the character’s mind.

There are many avenues
to travel down with it.

What would you write
next?

Or, take another idea to
explore. If one idea
isn’t working, try another.

Mix ideas up in new
situations. Stir my example
up in a new setting, different
scenario.

Remember, all fiction must
have a beginning, middle,
and an ending.

Work out your problem in
fiction to understand
it from a different perspective.

In conclusion, write pass the
doubters as they try to push you
away from your writing dream.
Write everyday about a problem
using a character. You’ll be able
to see the situation clearer, and
write interesting fiction.
