If you could, would like to take your writing to the next level?

I’m going to show you how you can tap more of your potential as a writer.

You may think you are firing on all cylinders at present but we can always do better.

Here’s how I managed to tap more of my potential as a writer, and how you can to.

How I Became A Professional Writer And How You Can To

ByNeal Martin

I’m sure you’ve heard that said a million times before, to the point where it’s become so trite and clichéd as to be totally meaningless.

The fact is though, people give up on their dreams all the time, and it’s sad.

It’s sad when I meet people who have resigned themselves to a life of drudgery, people who have made their lives a creativity free zone. It makes me sad because I can see the sadness in them. They’ve let themselves get beaten by negativity or setbacks in one form or another.

When you suggest to some people that they should maybe start going after those dreams they once cherished so much, they just shake their head (sadly) and shrug. They tell you its too late, or that they are happy enough with how things are.

For the most part, these people just exist, they don’t live.

I only say that because I used to be one of those people, for a while anyway.

Then I caught myself on.

3 Ways For Writers To Toughen Up And Kick Negativity’s Ass

ByNeal Martin

Amongst other things, I teach self defense. One of the central concepts of effective self defense is attacking your attacker. Instead of trying to defend against an opponent and run the risk of being put on the back foot (thus overwhelmed and beaten), it is better to go on the offense and attack back straight away.

The best defense is a good offense.

When it comes to defending oneself against attacks in the writing world, we can use the same principle to defend ourselves.

I am not, of course, advocating that you get physical with people who dislike your work (although it can be tempting to throttle some people). What I am suggesting is that you get proactive when it comes to dealing with negativity surrounding you or your work.
