REPLAY: Build Your Writing Confidence
June 2024 Workshop for Inkwell Members
A gigantic thank you to everyone who came along to our monthly workshop yesterday! We had a thoughtful and wide-ranging conversation about writing and confidence. Here are my choice takeaways…
Growing confidence is all about taking action.
Confidence requires certainty, but creativity is uncertain by nature, so it’s not surprising that we sometimes feel doubt and fear.
To grow our confidence we need to take consistent action that stretches us out of our comfort zone.
Self-doubt - reframed as the ability to question ourselves and our writing - is a crucial part of learning to be a better writer. The trick is learning to manage it.
Growing confidence is easier with the support of community.
In the video I mention two organisations that have help me build my personal confidence (and then promptly forgot to share the details 🤦🏻♀️). So, here they are, with apologies to the men among us, because they are both specifically for women. If you are interested in exploring some of these topics in a deeper way, I recommend checking them out.
