4 Things To Remember On Bad Writing Days
Number one: you’re not a bad writer
I’m saying this loud enough to drown out the voice of your self-doubt: you’re not a bad writer.
We all have bad writing days because we’re human and we’re not perfect. Whenever you have a bad writing day, I want you to write “I’m not a bad writer” about 10x and then look at the rest of this list.
A bad day doesn’t make me a bad writer for life
Don’t sentence yourself just because one sit-down session didn’t lead to magic. That’s a lot of pressure to put on yourself today and a lot of baggage to force yourself to work through tomorrow.
A bad day doesn’t mean every good day was a fluke
We do this, don’t we? We turn a bad day into our baseline and assume that every good day before this was just made up in our own mind. We listen to our imposter syndrome instead of believing in our skillset. You’re better than this, be better than this and believe that your good days are your truth and your bad day was just that, a single occurrence.
