You can love writing but keep yourself from doing it.
Sometimes, it’s just too hard to start writing. The fear of failure can be so overwhelming, it blots out any feelings of hope or joy or excitement that you want to feel when you’re in the creative process.
And, logically, if you never let your writing materialize on the page, you can’t fail, right? If there’s no story/novel/essay/blog post to show the world, the world can’t judge it as good or bad, a success or failure.
If you want to write, if you love writing, if it’s something you truly want to do freely and joyfully, the fear of failing can be one of the biggest obstacles in the way of actually writing.
But it doesn’t have to be that way! Even if it’s been years since you last wrote, you can start again today if you shift your mindset just a bit.
