In this month’s “Ask the Coach” article, I’m responding to a writer about confidence, who says:
“I’ve had a rough year and a half, which is affecting my writing confidence hugely now.”
In the article, I share some thoughts about approaches and strategies you might consider to rebuild confidence and trust that it will last.
- Give yourself time, space, and support to recover.
- Be as “full of yourself” as you can.
- Write when you can, as much as you can.
- Find writing lifelines.
- Get feedback from trusted sources.
- Trust the muse.
- Soothe your inner critic.
It takes courage and intention to move (back) into creative risk-taking, but we can do it. Take it one step at a time — as easily and as slowly as you need to — trusting you will gradually reconnect with the truth of who you are and what you were put here to do: write.
