Stop reading about writing. Write.


Seriously, there are a lot of good books out there. I myself love the “Busy Writer’s Guide.” Full of advice—good advice.

But there’s something every writer needs to watch out for, which is called “I’m not good enoughitis.”

And one symptom of this most devastating disorder is continuing to study, read more books, hoping that this book on sales techniques, or grammar, or how to write a compelling story…

Is the book that will free you, and let you be certain to finish your winning book.

Of course, ultimately this leads to a Kindle library full of books on writing…

And a sad, empty directory on your computer, with a few drips and drabs of half-finished projects, abandoned when you decided to just check out this short book on how to create that compelling plot.

So, stop reading about writing—write. Not only does it get you started on writing, but how will you know what you need to improve, until you’ve actually finished a project?
