Write for yourself or write for others?

Write for yourself or write for others?

Hello dear friends,

A few months ago, I was in contact with an author who was blocked. She asked me if I had any solutions to help her overcome her issues, her discomfort in writing. After a brief exchange, I realized that what was blocking her creativity, what was hindering her desire to write was this fear of how others would look at her writing, the fear of disappointing, of being judged, of being seen differently too… so I felt obliged to answer her that at the very beginning, a novel is born in us and we have to write it for ourselves and then rewrite it for others. That’s the only way we can come out with a first draft that is true and authentic, and without concession too. We will have plenty of time to rewrite and polish the angles later.

That’s what I’m talking about in this video. You can watch it below, and if you haven’t already, subscribe to my channel.

Take good care of yourself, and write well!

With love,
