Where to Start

Ascertain When You're Most Productive

Groundwork for any writer is working out when they're at their most productive. That means when you're going to be the most productive. Day or night? Does your routine include music in the background or TV playing as you write. If you're not sure when you're best time is try experimenting with various times throughout the day.

After you've discovered you're best writing time, try and set yourself a weekly routine. If it doesn't work tweak it until you become more comfortable. You'll soon discover when you're most creative, this will make the writing process more, and when you're writing will really start to flow, making your writing more enjoyable.

How to Write With Confidence

As a writer I always worry that what I write isn't good enough or liked by anyone, and this can feel like a black cloud hovering over my head sometimes, and is a hard feeling to shake.

That crisis of conscience can hit when times are hard, and often leave you with writer's block.  Not really knowing what your next move should be.

We live in a world where big things are expected from us all of the time, which is a lot to handle when you're trying to live your life as well.

Sometimes all it takes is to step back and drop down a gear, put things into perspective, and not panic.
