7 Step Writer's Challenge

7 Steps to Challenge Yourself With 

Motivating Yourself to Succeed

1. Believe in your writing and yourself like never before.
2. Query those dream markets you think you aren't good enough for (be sure to follow the guidelines).
3. Ignore negativity that comes flying your way. Family, co-workers, even friends may become jealous of your success or even the passion you have.
4. Find a place to make a list of your goals: short-term, long-term, and overall. You can do this in a notebook, on a piece of paper, or you could open a new file in Microsoft Word.
5. Read: The sky is the limit! So think big. Let your imagination go bonkers! Tell yourself you deserve that big break. You're working hard after all, right? You're dedicated and determined to succeed!
6. Encourage yourself. That's right. Pat yourself on the back. Go ahead. You deserve it! If nobody else will do it, you may as well. Motivate and praise yourself. After all, you've made it this far!
7. Don't even consider giving up. Nope. Not ever! For any reason. No matter what. Refuse to give up! Your life is what you make it, right? If you want to be a writer, and you know with all your heart it's what you were destined to become, then write. The only person stopping you is yourself. Don't let that happen.
