Confidence
To finish any project you need to work at it. If a book is
the project, it is like anything else it needs to be done often
to become good at it. As you write, you will improve. And
confidence in your writing will come also. Writing must be a
everyday activity even writing about day to day things if you
cannot think of anything to write because your head is so full
of everything else. Just write to that you can improve.
Guilt
Do you feel guilty for wanting some time to write? Handling
guilt over writing instead of chasing the kids around the house
or helping them with homework is tuff. You need to admit your
faults and move on. Read Admitting Your Faults And Using Them.
Finding Time
How do you find the time to write? Decide to do things right
away. Open mail when you get it from the mail box. Read the
paper or throw it away. When going through your email choose to
read your mail, throw it out, put it in a pending file, or
forward it. You may have more choices that you want to make but
the point is go through it and get rid of it or save it. Make
decisions quickly, you already have all the information you need
to make a decision. Make the decision and move on.
Get over your guilt, find the time to write, and confidence will
come.
