Psychological
blocks that prevent manuscripts from being finished
Here are some ways
you might address this:
a. Write from a
distance: write something and sleep on it before reviewing
b. The block to
finish the last pages can mean – now that it’s done, what do you do with it?
Being a good writer doesn’t mean you are a good marketer and visa versa. Find
people to play to your weaknesses: hire a marketer or a ghostwriter.
c. The fear factor
– being afraid of success or failure – what’s the worst that can happen?
Manuscripts are highly personal. There can be anxiety about finally releasing
it.
d. Projects take a
part of your life. It’s important. You can’t give it up because if you do,
there may be nothing to take its place. Maybe start a new manuscript or research
another project to fill that void.
