The 6 Book Writing Fears, and How to Beat Them
I don't have a book in me
- Imposter Syndrome
- Just ask yourself: _are people coming to you and asking you for, or paying you for, your knowledge?
I’m afraid my book isn’t original enough
- A book is valuable if the knowledge within it is accessible and usable to the audience.
- No reader cares if the idea is new or old. They only care if it’s USEFUL TO THEM.
I’m afraid my book won’t be good enough
- The author will try to put everything they know into the book, and this causes the book to bloat and become unmanageable.
- The author won’t stick to a subject and will jump around to different ideas.
- The author’s perfectionism becomes an excuse to delay or avoid actually working on the book.
- The author edits and adds content in never-ending cycles, spinning in circles and never actually finishing the book
I’m afraid no one will care about my book
