1/ I’m neck-deep in writing AHT2 & I’ve just had an epiphany.

When I started writing AHT2 it was going to be a direct sequel to AHT1. But as I have started to write down my ideas, it has evolved into something else - it’s becoming very different to my 1st project.

2/ & this made me scared.

The mind gremlins (my doubts & fears) started to talk to me saying:

“What you are writing ain’t good enough”
“You are going to disappoint the fans of the 1st book.”
“Who do you think you are to try & write this type of book?”

& I got writers block.

3/ Believe it or not, I considered quitting the project. But I realised that you have to evolve & try something new & it may not land how I wanted to but at least I tried.

Whenever you do something creative or entrepreneurial & you put yourself in a place of discomfort

4/ eventually your fears & doubts will catch up with you. It doesn’t matter if you have done it before or if it’s your 1st time. I don’t think they ever go away.

You have to push through those fears & doubts because on the other side of those fears is your…

5/ unfulfilled potential. Yes you may fail. Yes, you may not be successful. But I believe everything you try will help you to grow in someway better.

Go out there & try something. In the long run, you wont regret it.

I wrote this to encourage myself & I hope it helps

6/ someone out there.

Fin.
