Every writer struggles with their writing confidence. They fight for skill, fight for experience and fight for the destination they dream about. No one is perfect but can try to be creative this is what they need as a writer. Confidence isn’t something that most writers find easily and not that easy to gain. Your confidence is not the thing that you actively do, but there are things that you can actively think about.

1.Don’t Compare Your Work with a published author

The most important thing is don’t compare yourself to publish books or published authors. When you reading a book you can think it pretty much better than your work and you start thinking that you never going to be good, and you may be not successful like that person but comparing a printed edited final book is like comparing unedited raw footage to a final movie. A book that you buy and reading that has gone soo much revision and it has gone through professional editing and it just not comparable to the first draft of yours that you are writing now. So, stop comparing yourself and keep writing. One day you'll succeed.

2.Don’t Care About Negative Feedback

If you think that everyone likes your writing for the first time then you’re wrong. Every author that you admire or compering with yourself they have gotten criticism. When you start getting feedback for the first time you might be upset. But don’t give up. Save nice feedback that you get and read over them when you’re feeling down. You’ll be used to bad feedback with time.

3.Writing Process Has Ups and Downs for Everyones

Don’t think the writing process is effortless for anyone and everyone struggles with it’s. When you are reading an article or book and think wow this is so good and it’s effortless please don’t think this. Because everyone probably struggles with their writing process just like you. If you feel difficulties remember that it is probably difficult for every single author.

4.Don’t Compare Your Ideas to Others Writers

Don’t try to compare your ideas with others. Every person thinks differently. When you start comparing with others' ideas you probably feel like he is more creative than you. Ideas are that thing, which comes from your personal experience and they come from your personality and only you could create this idea or write. You can develop your ideas according to your dream whatever it’s very common or uncommon.

5. Find a Mistake is a sign of Improving

If you’re picking out of mistakes that means your learning and you have grown. Self-judgment is good quality, if you can judge yourself you improve more. Finding out a lot of mistakes is a sign you are learning fast. So, find out your mistakes and go to draft and edit it.

6.Capable of Writing Difficult Storie

Sometimes you choose difficult stories and it makes you fear. No matter if you choose easy or difficult stories, they can be low quality but if you don’t write today you can’t write tomorrow. Especially the new writer has an idea and they think they aren’t capable of this skill. Please breakdown the wall of your fear, write it down and go ahead.

7.Write Down Everything Whatever You Love

Write what you love.

The work you love more nobody can do it better than you. An idea you love to write then definitely, you know the way of describing it. If you don’t love your work maybe you can’t describe it properly. So, write down your idea wherever you love.

Conclusion

I hope this article inspires you to write more and you never give up writing. Thank you.

Have a great day.
