No matter how much experience you have as a writer, sooner or later, something will go wrong.

I don’t mean “wrong” as in you run out of ink, or your internet goes down. Rather I mean wrong as in a client cancels a contract. Wrong as in you feel a lack of motivation. Or even wrong, as in you wake up and feel like the idea well is dry.

Feel me?

Challenges are as much a part of the writing world as they are being a startup entrepreneur, a stay-at-home parent, or even just having a high-stress job.

Most challenges or issues can be solved with what you already know and do. Through previous experiences. Maybe even because you’ve passed through these turbulent waters before in another job or vocation.

Some challenges will mess with your head…if you let them.

So how do you overcome them?

Remember why you started writing

Maybe you started as a creative outlet just for you.

Perhaps it was because you were compelled to share a message.
