“Everybody who thinks they can write. I would like to kick their ass”.

–Steven Pressfield in a Podcast.

Why did he say it ?

Because a lot of people think they can write.

But they neglect the fact that along the way they’ll come across 

Not just the lack of ideas 

Not just constant competition  

Not even grabbing the reader's attention

But…

The Self-sabotage 

The Resistance

The Doubt 

Like…

Is it a dumb Idea?

Will anyone read it?

Is it interesting?

All these thoughts would arise when you’d sit down to write which will eventually lead you towards distraction & above mentioned obstacles.

Results –You quit 

But, how can you overcome these thoughts and not fall in this loophole?

To become a writer who’s praised and is read by many you’ll have to have ‘A Strong Mindset’ 

And How Would You Achieve That ??

• Set Clear Goals (Write your goal and put it where you can see it)

• Practice Self-Discipline (Set a timer and then work)  

• Push yourself outside of your comfort zone. (Do the hardest task first thing in the morning) 

Developing a strong mindset doesn’t happen overnight. Be patient with yourself and stick to the process. The key is persistence, even when things get tough.
