OBSTACLES IN MY WRITING LIFE | #AuthorProtagChallenge Day 3 . This is going to be a really long post. . It's been 2 years since I decided to change the direction of my life and to start writing a book. A fiction book. I've written several books but they were all non-fiction and law-related since I am also a lawyer and a university professor. . And here comes the first obstacle - my full-time jobs. They are so time- and energy-consuming that there are days that I have no energy left to write. I also travel a lot because the university where I teach is in another town. . But these aren't the main obstacles in front of me. . I will be honest. I'm AFRAID. Phew, I said it🙂. I am afraid that my book won't be as good as I wanted it to be. I am afraid because English is my second language. I am afraid that... Well, I'm afraid of so many things. . And the fear is what draws me back. I am constantly procrastinating because of this. I know it's the worst thing I could ever do. I know there is nothing to be afraid of. But somewhere there in the deepest cell of my brain there is this grain of fear that I cannot erase. . For a year and a half I was wondering what exactly I want from my life. I was reading how to write and being afraid to do the only thing that can teach me how to write - WRITE. I was justifying myself with the work I have and everything else. . So to conclude, the main obstacles in my writing life are fear and self-doubt. I am fighting with them but there are still moments when I'm not very sure in myself. And this is not good, at all. . . . #authorprotagchallenge #writingchallenge #writerschallenge #writingcommunity #writers #writersofinstagram #igwriters #authorsofinstagram #writing #amwriting #wipjoy #letsdothis #writerwoman #writerlounge #writersblck #writersproblems #writersblok #writerscomunityofinstagram #writersgonnawrite #writerdream #writersofinstagram #writersofig #writers #writerscommunity #writerslife https://www.instagram.com/p/BySaUfvA5Yx/?igshid=1mfaw6gx9c5p5
