I wrote web copy and ebooks and taglines and fiction and all kinds of writerly stuff. The fast and snappy, the confidence and cockiness. Maybe it’s a form of burnout? When we write in almost a free form and just let it flow, I find that some of our best work is produced. I couldn’t write. I could write.

Denial is a form of rejecting reality. Mazzola March 13, 2010 at 12:40 am Honesty is always the best policy! Accepting you did something that hurt somebody (most of the time, it’s you who is hurt, that’s true). Acceptance makes things manageable again. When you were in denial, there wasn’t any handle to reality.

Why not write an ebook and sell it? If, in theory, you had all six in solid form before you wrote your novel, you wouldn’t need three or four or more drafts, as King suggests. @ Kenji – What gets me is that NaNoWriMo actually sets people up to write for nothing, essentially. I’d build a new business, for example.)

I firmly believe in charging for quality content; for me, ebooks and followup series work great. In today’s time-hungry market, offering ways to accomplish things faster (ie, ebooks of less than 60 pages compared to ebooks of 200+ ebooks – faster reading) is also of value as well. Real is the future.

Most writers aren’t brimming over with confidence, either. Has your style become more confident? This isn’t just because specialization increases your chances of making a living from your writing – it’s also because it’s easier to improve when you focus on mastering one form. We stare at blank screens.

The fine line between great work and exceptional work often lies in the execution and feeling confident and relaxed. Failure to pay as agreed is a particularly bad form of feedback, but I’ve often seen clients use it that way. Let freelancers do their job. Trust freelancers to see the project through. 6) Thank them.

Gotta love family;) Blogging, I pretty much hang loose and worry more about getting the content out there in an easily readable form. I find I write vastly better than I speak, and mostly it’s due to confidence and lack of experience. This results in my brain and mouth getting tangled up and sounding nowhere near natural.
