A Mini-Pep Talk For When You Feel Unqualified To Write

Dear Writerly Woman,

This week's post is a mini-pep talk for when you're scared your writing idea isn't good enough, doesn't qualify as real writing, or is doomed to fail because it doesn't follow expert opinions.

Here is what I want you to know:

When it comes to your authentic self expression, there is no one more qualified than you.

You are the expert on your own voice, your unique point of view, and your writing style.

You are the only one who gets to decide if your writing is right for you.

The next time you're scared to write, say these three sentences to yourself, and begin anyway.

1. I am the authoritative expert on my own voice, my unique point of view, and my writing style.

2. I hereby grant myself permission to write exactly what I want to write and how I want to write it.

3. I've got this.

You can do it. I believe in you.

Love,

Emma
