I'm not a writer, but I love to write and have a story to tell. I dont know if it's fear of not being good enough, but I can't get myself to write down my story. What advise can you give me to just do it!! or any habits you have that are useful?
Elizabeth Gilbert
You just need to begin! Go get the kitchen timer and set it for 20 minutes. You can do anything for 20 minutes. I tell myself to keep going for another 20 minutes, with the reminder that it doesn't have to be exciting or satisfying. And what usually happens � around minute 17 � is that I start to get a tiny bit interested in a sentence that I'm writing. If you are full of fear, I would suggest trying to cultivate a community or a tribe of fellow-creators, who you can turn to when you feel overwhelmed.
