Upon reading the different ways to manage your way through the fear your writer’s block (fear of judgement/failure) may have sidled over to the worst case scenario generator and started to churn out some classics! Which I reckon can be grouped into two categories – rejection and criticism.
To address this let’s imagine for a second that the worst does happen and you get rejected and or criticised.
That’s not something to avoid!
That’s a vital part of the creative process.
You’ve just been handed a perfect opportunity to practice a valuable creative skill.
As Eliot Peper said:
“If you do anything creative then you will become intimately familiar with rejection”
Never forget that the worldwide phenomenon that is Harry Potter was rejected 12 times before it was published.
Imagine reaching a level where rejection and criticism was water off a duck’s back to you.
You’d be unstoppable!
Now go out and get rejected and criticised!
Intimately familiar with rejection
