Fear can stop a writer in his or her
tracks. If you let the doubt and negativity of others invade your
mind, it can swirl with different situations where the outcome is
always the same, you loose. I believe all writers fear something
while creating a story or researching the truth. But does that fear
have to ruin something that can be great?
With society being so technologically
advanced, it is hard to escape reality just so you can write. Significant others and children always wanting you to do something for them can take up valuable writing time. Most writers need quiet so the creative juices can
flow. It is up to you to create that space and not let anyone into
it.
The Fear of rejection is probably
number one when it comes to authors writing books. Even when self
publishing, I often get upset when my books are kicked back for me to
correct. But I don't let the fear of rejection creep into my mind
and stop me in my tracks.
When you are about to achieve something
great, the doubting Thomas' of the world always come out of the dark
to taunt and hinder you from the task at hand. Fear is just a
thought of the imagination, it has no power. The things that we fear
rarely come to pass because fear can be overcome, defeated, and
thrown in the garbage.
Never let the fear of rejection or
negative reviews, stop you from making your dreams come true. If you
let fear win, it will! It will knock you down and keep knocking you
down and how are you suppose to get on your feet again?
