Hey Becky,

You mentioned quite a few options, and all sound like excellent possibilities. I’d need to know a bit more about you and what you want from your writing life in order to make recommendations though.

I have a free course on my website you’re welcome to join. It helps you find your writing focus, and if you send me your thoughts with the various lessons, I’ll reply with more recommendations.

You can sign up for that course here: https://linktr.ee/leighshulman

Looking forward to hearing more!

I am not a writer by trade but I have some fun ideas I’d like to entertain . I know nothing about writing books or publishing . I am considering doing a blog for fun to see how things go. I need some recommendations. Thoughts.

Hey Gary!

What you describe is so common among writers. Myself included. Sometimes it helps to recognize the doubt, note it and then keep going with one of these exercises or something else.

But definitely keep sharing that imagination of yours.

I deal with a lot of self-doubt, and I think part of it stems from a 9th grade teacher who did not say anything about my writing or if he thought it was good, because his main focus was that I had to change the names of the Star Wars characters my characters interacted with in the short story I wrote. God has blessed me with an imagination and with creativity and ideas but the self-doubt that I am not good enough, or that people do not want to read my stories always creeps in. Then I get the itch to start writing, I am feeling good, motivated and then bam! Self-doubt rears its ugly head again.
