Creative Writing Fears- I'm Scared That Creative Writing Will Overcome My Whole Life

It’s very common for creative writers to have all sorts of writing fears, so if you do too, you’re not alone!

One of the major reasons we don’t write to our creative potential – and sometimes don’t write at all – is because of some fear or other.

Being scared that writing will take over your life is among the most common.

Here’s how it presents itself and what you can do to deal with it when it does:

"I’m scared about the possibility I might not be able to stop writing.

What if, once I really find my true creative voice, and get fully in the flow of writing, all I’ll want to do day and night is write?

I’m scared of how this might effect the rest of my life."

How to overcome the fear:

This is an often overlooked area of concern for writers, and seems a genuine fear, until we look a little deeper.

So you’re scared of writing loads and being able to write whenever and wherever you wanted? Wouldn’t that a be a great problem to have!

In fact, how many millions of writers would love to be in that position? Of course it’s important to maintain balance between the most important areas of our lives, such as our careers, relationships, health, finances and so on.

But the bottom line is, if you’re a writer, writing’s what you do! So write!

This creative writing fear can block our writing significantly when we let it take control of us.

How has this type of fear revealed itself in your creative writing life?

What action steps can you take, from today, to minimise its impact?
