Bill Myers Tip of the Week – May 12, 2012

Not being afraid to be bad

This past week I published an article with the title ‘Seven Important Lessons I Learned When Writing My First Novel’.

In that article, I wrote about the things that helped me complete my first novel, which is now available on Amazon.

Among the items on that list was ‘The importance of not being afraid of being bad.”

Here’s some of what I wrote . . .

“One of the most important things I learned while writing my first novel is don’t be afraid of being a bad writer.

Instead of worrying about whether your writing is good, just get the words on the page, get the story told. And finish the book.

After the book is finished, you’ll have plenty of time to go back and improve your writing during editing.

It’s a process that every writer, even best selling authors, go through. They write badly and then improve their work during editing.”

The same can be said of most things you do in life. If you’re afraid your work isn’t going to be good enough, you’ll never get anything done.

So don’t be afraid to be bad. Just do the work, learn from what you are doing, and then make it better during editing.

It’s how we humans learn to get things done and how we go from being bad at something to doing good work.

By the way, my new novel at Amazon has received many five star reviews and continues to grow into what I hope will eventually be a best seller.

It’s still available for just 99 cents. Check it out at http://goo.gl/j54vb
