The Biggest Challenge Writers Face….

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.

― Maya Angelou

A public writers forum asked the question “what is the single biggest challenge you as a writer face?” Here I share responses as writers chimed in:

• Writing everyday
• Marketing
• Not enough erasers
• Find an agent
• A full-time job that isn’t
• Learning all the required skills – writing, editing, cover art, publishing, marketing, salesmanship, accounting …
• Identifying my audience
• Details
• Time
• Reviews
• Getting books sold
• Selling myself
• Lethargy
• Butt in chair
• Discipline
• Marketing costs. Dispite what some may say, it is expensive to self-publish. Editor, copy editor, cover design, copyright, ISBN numbers, authors copies, advertising, website, domain name, contests, give-aways, and on and on it goes
• Self-Doubt
• Stay Motivated
• Writers block

The list goes on. Are you a new or published author? Is anything missing? Do share. We would love to hear.

Need help? Let’s connect.

Cheers!
