I've been working hard on the 100 Day Challenge material. What started as a fun little side project is taking on much more importance. I'm devoting more time to it; I want it to be the best hour-a-day you've ever spent.
Here's why. I've been reading many months' worth of email messages, both from my writing students, and from other writers. I'm trying to find common writing and personal challenges which we can address and eliminate in our 100 days.
There are lots of them, and we'll get to them all. I want you to end 2010 with a bang, and be ready to take on the world in 2011.
One problem in particular stood out.
The sub-text of 95 per cent of the messages I studied is the writer's lack of confidence.
Even writers who are GOOD writers (you can tell a lot from an email message) are making an unholy mess of their writing careers because they lack confidence.
It made me angry on their behalf. They were listening to the kvetching voices in their head which told them that they weren't good enough, had no talent, that they'd never make money… and on an on.
Your lack of confidence affects everything you do as a writer. Worse, if you don't realize that you lack confidence you can be destroyed: you'll give up all hope of a writing career.
So during the 100 Day Challenge, you'll learn how to become a confident, selling writer. In the 100 days, you'll discover what it took me ten years (no joke) to learn. (When I started writing, in the 1970s, I often sat at my typewriter and just cried.)
Here's a tip about your inner editor, inner critic, or whatever you want to call the voices in your head: stop listening. Write instead.
I'll be telling you more about the 100 Day Challenge in the ezine. Read the issues, because once enrollment opens, it will only be open for FIVE days. I want us all to be on the same page, so to speak, so after five days, enrollment will close. We'll be an exclusive little group.
