#19 Middle-Grade Mindset: Why You’re Stuck and What To Do About It
You may have taken all the writing classes and read all the craft books on writing, and you may theoretically know everything you need to know to write your middle-grade novel, but if you have only managed the theory of writing without managing your mindset, you are going to encounter fear at some point.
And that fear will stop you from writing.
So, what's the solution?
In this podcast episode, we cover:
- how fear is keeping you stuck
- what to do to about the fear
What you believe about yourself impacts your success or failure. So, managing your beliefs leads to positive thoughts and feelings, which motivates constructive writing habits. Mindset matters!
