I want to write about my life but I’m scared that the life I finally created will be lost when they learn about my past.

I procrastinate because…well, I don’t know why. I know I have a decent enough talent to make it, if I tried hard enough and put myself out there and believed in myself. Sometimes, while I think my writing is good enough, the ideas don’t seem to be so great. I have a lot of ideas from when I was in high school and college in a notebook. I’d start so many things and never finish. Always more of a short story writer and occasional poet. Now that I’m out of school I feel like I have no imagination left. I’m afraid of failing and succeeding, of actually finishing and having to say, “Now what?” And I don’t know how to get myself out there, how to self-publish if need be, and/or if it’s tacky to just hand my stuff to someone and say, “Here, read it and tell me what you think.” And contests are almost always out because hubby and I can’t really afford $20 a month to enter a story that’s mediocre.

Fantastic article! Procrastination is definitely the enemy of success. It’s easy to talk it than to do it. Perfectionism I experienced first hand. I would constantly rewrite and rewrite. Rewriting is great when you complete your project. Not when you keep thinking that what your writing isn’t any good.

nice post,i also have an idea that i want to share, when i wrote my first Ebook it was just 29 pages, of course it was far from being perfect at that time but i insisted on completing it fast

later on i kept releasing new versions with more pages until the last version which is version 9 reached 87 pages

so start now and write improved versions later then send them to all who purchased old versions for free
