Many who want to write are scared off because they think they couldn't possibly write a book like the authors they admire.
Many who do write aren't as successful as they could be because they try to write like Nora Roberts, Julia Quinn, Dean Koontz, Sandra Brown, or whoever is the author they like to read.
The wannbes and those starting to publish totally miss some important truths about writing.
3 Truths Writers Should Embrace
1. Write the book that is in YOU—the kind of book that only YOU can write.
2. Don't try to be like anyone else—be yourself with your gifts, your talents, your insights, and your thoughts.
3. You are unique and there's only one of you in the whole world—accept, rejoice, and celebrate that fact.
Takeaway Truth
No matter how hard you try, you can only be you—and that's a good thing.
