• Do you dream of becoming a great writer?
• Do you think you’re pretty effective at conveying your thoughts through writing, but you just don’t know how to start with that big work you have in mind?
• Are you afraid that people won’t like your work?
• Are you perhaps a less successful student of creative writing?
• Do you really want to become a great writer and to adopt all the mindset and attitude characteristics that make one?

If you’re good with words and you have a desire to write, then things should be easy, right? But they aren’t. You have a feel for language, a keen eye towards the world and the inventiveness, but you still don’t know what to do with it and how to make it all work together – not once, but repeatedly.

Some of the best (and often overlooked) advice for aspiring writers are to write every day (because it can be learned only by doing, like riding a bicycle), to read a lot, to flesh out the idea you have (especially if you don’t know how to start your novel), to make some kind of outline so that you don’t wander off…and most importantly, you have to find a way to convince yourself you can do it!

All of this requires a certain shift in consciousness and attitude: without it, you can start working on something and soon get lost, lose motivation or belief in yourself. That’s why we have put together these affirmations, designed to instill within you the mindset that will help you to keep it all together and to develop into the truly passionate and skillful writer you want to become!
