The path to your first novel is never a smooth one. There are times when you’ll experience the words flow, and other times you’ll run into the writer's block. This is why I’ll be discussing the realities of writing a novel, the emotional highs and lows I’ve faced during my writing experience so far, and how I manage the writer’s block each time it comes.

What You Will Learn in This Episode:

- How I’ve been dealing with imposter syndrome as I write my novel

- The consequences of not writing on a committed basis

- The root cause of writer’s block and how to get past it

There’s no such thing as a perfect writer, you just have to be committed to writing consistently, and put aside the feeling that you’re not good enough. You also need to push past your fears, set realistic deadlines and surround yourself with people that can inspire you on your writing journey.
