What to Do About Self-Doubt and Your Book Project

  • Summary

  • In this very first episode of Season Two, I am talking about obstacles that keep folks from working on their book project.

    I cover the five most common messages that the voice of self-doubt sends that end up getting in the way. 

    1. Self Doubt Message #1:  You’re Not “Expert Enough” to Write this Book

    2. Self-Doubt Message #2:  Your Book Idea Isn’t Good Enough

    3. Self-Doubt Message #3:  You’re Not Popular Enough

    4. Self-Doubt Message #4:  Who You, a Writer?

    5. Self-Doubt Message #5:  You’re Too Old to Be a “First-Time Author”

    Resources I mentioned:

    • Two of my favorite teachers are Kate Swoboda aka Kate Courageous and Tanya Geisler. Here is something about Tanya’s Yum & Yay folder idea.
    • If you are in midlife like I am, there are some wonderful voices out there, check out Sara Smeaton’s Midlife Manifesto and Lou Blaser’s Midlife Cues newsletter & podcast.
    • Also, here’s an article I wrote on the same topic of self-doubt that also includes additional actions to try.
