It’s essential you get into the habit of writing every day. Whether what you write is good or not doesn’t matter. What matters is that you write. Only by doing so will you improve your craft.

To keep track of your progression, write one article. It doesn’t have to be long or complicated. Edit the article every so often, and compare it to your earlier writing. Repeat this exercise often to rate your improvement and boost your writing ego.

Try to write every day. Don’t overthink what you write or how good it is. It may be scary at first, but the more you write, the easier it will get. Before you know it, that self-doubt will disappear, and that blank screen will quickly fill up with your incredible story.

Go at your own pace, but go! Perseverance will lead you to discover your passion for writing that great novel you have in you.

More importantly, never forget writing is more about the journey than the destination.

The more time you spend writing, the better you become. Add reading to raise your writerly IQ, and things will go right you.

Don’t hurry the process along. Writing should be more about the journey than the destination. The joy of sitting down to a blank screen and crafting something that’s beautiful or moving or funny or heart-wrenching or even just average is what it’s all about. Enjoy yourself. Don’t stress out about writing the perfect novel. The best way to fail as a writer is to devote all your time perfecting. Let your creativity flow, and your story, your characters, and the plot will fall in place.

Creative success requires vision and getting yourself on that keyboard, and getting to work is what’s important.
