PODCAST – First Challenge Check-In!
When your judgment of your writing is based on fear, it has very little connection to reality. You may dismiss really brilliant writing as terrible, simply because you're afraid that other people aren’t going to like it. Or you may fall in love with scenes that are not working simply because they feel safe to you.
There are a ton of ways to overcome these kinds of fears.
It starts with remembering that many of these fears you have about your writing may not actually be real.
Oftentimes we have expectations of ourselves as writers that are not fair. If you were taking your first violin lesson, you wouldn't expect to play Carnegie Hall. Yet for a lot of writers there’s so much pressure on making that first script-- that first scribbling, that first page-- something you can sell or something that can lead you to somewhere very specific.
The result is that you never actually give yourself the chance to learn.
