Are you writing a book or a novel? Or maybe your project isn’t that large but you’re still getting too caught up in the fear (will it be good enough? Will they change their minds?) to enjoy it.

Think about one of the pieces of writing you’re currently working on. What have you been focusing on? How would it feel to enjoy the process? If you’re still interviewing people, appreciate the fact that your work involves you talking to all sorts of interesting people.

If tying up loose ends feel frustrating, at least acknowledge the fact that you’ve become better at handling bitty assignments as you’ve built up more experience.

Enjoy the process and it will come out in your writing. It will also make you a more pleasant writer for agents and editors to deal with so you’ll find yourself landing more assignments.

Your loved ones will benefit, too.

If you’re still struggling to think of ways to enjoy your own personal writing climb, think about whether changing the area you write about you needs to evolve.

What can you start doing right now to enjoy writing more?
