Don't write alone - get a dose of self confidence from this handy book!

I spent years thinking about writing novels before I actually created the books I wanted to write. Deep down I knew I could do it, but I was frequently paralyzed by all the doubts, procrastination, and negative self-talk. I really could have used a helpful book to help me get over myself. Since the time I was struggling alone to write, professional editor and book coach Jenny Quinlan has published a gem of a book that will give you the encouragement to get where you want to go. The Writer's Little Book of Self Confidence offers fifty affirmations and motivational tips on writing. It's small but mighty - you will be sure to recognize your own bugaboos in one or more of the fifty tips. The idea is to choose the affirmations that resonate with you, read the accompanying tips, and repeat the affirmations to yourself to slay your demons. Or better yet, slap those on a paper and post the note somewhere you can see it. Face your fears. No more hiding from yourself or finding refuge in distracting yourself. I'm pretty sure no one reaches the end of their life and says, "Phew! Thank goodness I didn't take any risks or ever try to reach my potential! Scary! People might not have liked my writing. I really dodged a bullet. So glad I made myself invisible and swallowed my dreams." If you have a story in your heart, set it free. Be creative and be brave. Writing is like any art or craft: you can keep improving. Jenny was my own copyeditor and cover designer for The Power to Deny and The Treason of Betsy Ross. As a coach she was calm and positive and helped me navigate my way to publication. I really leaned on her feedback and years of experience. Her book is a reflection of all of that wonderful wisdom and book love and astute coaching. The Writer's Little Book of Self Confidence would benefit any writer who is standing in their own way. My favorite mantra in the book is, "My Story Deserves to be Told." It packs a punch, doesn't it. Are you willing to believe that too, for yourself? I'd love to read what you have to say. In the past five years since I was brave enough to publish, I've sold a few thousand books, won a 1st Place Blue Ribbon Goethe Book Award for post-1750s Historical Fiction in the Chanticleer International Book Awards and a Silver Global e-book Award, been invited to speak at historic sites and book clubs, and received so many lovely comments from readers interested in my work. Not everyone has to like the same books or style. Your people will find you. Gift yourself or a writer you love The Writer's Little Book of Self-Confidence. Spread the hope, the creativity, the confidence. You can find Jenny Quinlan at www. Jennyquinlan.com.
