This article will address five amazing practices that will boost your confidence as a new writer. So let’s look at those practices:

1. Know what you want. There is a sense of accomplishment for knowing what you want. If you know what you want, it further helps to set the record straight and make the path clear to evaluate yourself. There is a popular saying “if you don’t know what you want from life, you will not be able to know what life is giving you”.
An average person wanders around about life, “the rolling stone, gathers no moist”. So also as a new writer, it will do you no good by wandering around, be specific, and commit yourself to build your career as a writer.

Before you can get to your career peak as a new writer, you need time, you can’t skip any due fundamental process in your career. A renowned philosopher Aristotle said, “ Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet”. Being patient with yourself can save you from a lot of unnecessary anxiety and stress, then your confidence can be at an optimum level.

So, as a new writer, you must like writing, even when it is difficult for you to do so, there is no option for that, you must try and fashion your interest around writing to enable you to become a good and successful writer.

Interest is developed bit by bit, piece by piece, it comes with challenges, is now left for you as a new writer to develop an interest in what you do. Develop a passion for writing, talk about it, connect with people who are in that same circle, in doing this you will notice that some changes begin to happen, you will then have interest in writing and practice more, and begin to build confidence in writing and enjoy what you do as a hobby.

Permit me to use the words of “Saket”, even if is a common statement, he uses it often to always emphasize a point, that learning is from both sides, the trainer and the trainee are learning from each other. That is to say in other words nobody is a monopoly of knowledge.

Every one of us learns from each other at every point in time, as a new writer, you have to have a clean slate at every time, so as to learn some new thing. It is important as a writer to be open to new knowledge and ideas to scale through as a successful writer, you wouldn’t know the ideas you will get from others that will transform your writing skill.
Even when you learn from others, you should also not forget to learn from yourself, especially from your own mistakes.
