Why do you want to do this?

Because I love books, and I feel like it would be amazing to write one, and see my name and something I created on a shelf in a library, bookstore, or at a friend's house. I want to write about the realm of faeries and a war happening there.

What three things will you need to make this happen?

I will need to do much research on fey lore, as well as semi-ancient war.

I will need to make time to write.

I need motivation and confidence in my ability.

What is the biggest barrier to your achieving this?

Motivation and confidence are my biggest obstacles. I feel like sometimes, what I write is stupid or has been done so many times before. I need to suck it up, and realize that ALL writers go through the same thing.

You're so right about this! I used to write so much that I would then or dump. It's hard to get confident about putting your voice out there. I actually stopped writing for a while and concentrated on editing, because it felt safer.

Once you start to believe in your ability and identify as a writer, you gain credibility in your own mind, and then you can put your work out for critique much more effectively. Maybe join a writers' group to get proper feedback, too. It always helps to have support. Good luck!
