Most writers wonder 'am I good enough?' In this video I give you the key to figuring out the answer. Self-doubt is normal for writers, and knowing if you're a good enough writer or not is difficult.
Are you good enough to write the story you have planned? Are you good enough to measure up to other writers? These questions can be useful for motivating writers, but they can also hold you back.
The thing is, writers who believe they're 'good enough' without any doubt at all, don't tend to progress as well as writers who know they have things to learn, and there's a big difference between not knowing something, and not being good enough.
Actively closing gaps in your writing knowledge and finding skills that make you better is what makes you 'good enough'.
Feeling good enough as a writer is all about balancing what you know with what you don't.
You don't have to be the perfect writer to feel like you're good enough to write whatever story calls to you.

The most important thing when you're new to writing is to keep writing. Keep putting down words, paragraphs, plots, characters. You will learn as you go, and you can use the experience of the writing community to fill in the gaps where you're not sure.
Writing is my passion, and I love to support other writers and help them develop their writing along with me. I want to help you tell your best stories.
