Do you believe writing is your true professional, personal, or creative calling? That it brings meaning, depth, and value to your life, your readers, and those who you write about?
If the answer is yes, yet you struggle with confidence, blocks, overwhelm, or underearning, this talk about confidence and self-confidence (nope, not the same thing) will help you approach your writing life differently.
Confidence isn’t a personality trait. It’s a meta-skill that can be cultivated, practiced, and developed.
In today’s episode we cover:
- The difference between confidence and self-confidence
- Why looking to the past to build your confidence isn’t as powerful as looking to the future
- An exercise to help you become a more confident writer
