Finding Your Inner Writer

What is your “Inner” self about? You know, ... that secret self you may or may not let out for any length of time. I have been known to say I have an “Inner Hippie” and she comes out often in my clothing style, especially when I wear dresses. 

While I could go on and on about that inner hippie of mine, I want to focus on the “Inner Writer” in those of us who desire to write but either doubt our skills and gifts, or just don’t take time for writing. 

I confess I have had the doubts and the insecurities about writing and becoming an author. I still do! Every time someone asks about Into the Canyon, I get a little bit anxious. Then I remind myself it is my book, it is the inspiration I felt compelled to write and while I want others to enjoy it, nothing changes the fact that I did it! I accomplished writing, publishing, and becoming an author. Talk about a huge bucket list item off the list! 

Finding your Inner Writer when you know she is in there can be difficult or overwhelming. Being coached through that can help, but the real work comes in each of us personally overcoming the doubts. 

If you believe you have an Inner Writer, she needs to come out. Let her out!  “JUST WRITE!”
