When you tell people that you\u2019re a writer, I\u2019ve found the most common response is: \u201cI want to write a book one day, too.\u201d<\/p>\n

While it seems like everyone wants<\/em> to write a book, the number of people who follow through with that dream is significantly fewer. Why? Maybe it\u2019s because of a lack of time\u2014between a career, hobbies, raising children, and the never-ending to-do list, 24 hours in a day never feels like enough.<\/p>\n

Learning how to write a book, developing that idea into a full plot, and writing those 50,000 to 100,000 words that make up a book all require time<\/em>. And we won\u2019t even talk about the endless rounds of revisions, figuring out how to get the thing published once it\u2019s finished, and on and on\u2026<\/p>\n

After seven years of studying the craft of storytelling, and drafting and revising four books, I still haven\u2019t reached publication.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

At least, that\u2019s been my experience. After seven years of studying the craft of storytelling, and drafting and revising four books, I still haven\u2019t reached publication. I have so much more to learn and improve on before my work is ready.<\/p>\n

But I don\u2019t think time is the only factor that prevents people from chasing their writing dreams. Instead, it\u2019s an excuse that masks the real reason they don\u2019t even try<\/em>: Fear. Fear that they won\u2019t be good enough. Fear that their ideas are worthless. Fear that they will fail.<\/p>\n

As poet and novelist Sylvia Plath said, \u201cThe worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.\u201d And a lot of that doubt stems from misconceptions that we, as a society, have about creativity.<\/p>\n

Misconception No. 1: Creativity = uniquely original ideas<\/p>\n

I get it. You want to write something that no one else has ever written before. And you will. Not because you\u2019ve come up with an idea that has never been done before, but because no one else is going to combine story elements together in the way you will and because no one else is coming to the story with the exact same background, tastes and experiences as you.<\/p>\n

Humans have been telling stories as long as we\u2019ve existed, so the chances that someone else has written a book about a ghost haunting a boarding school are good. That\u2019s OK. Suzanne Collins wasn\u2019t the first to write about teens fighting to the death. Bram Stoker probably wasn\u2019t the first to set a terrifying tale in a gothic castle. Their stories are still full of creativity because of the way they chose to tell them.<\/p>\n

So don\u2019t stress if your idea bears a passing resemblance to some other book. As you write it, it will become uniquely yours.<\/p>\n

Misconception No. 2: Creativity requires an innate talent<\/p>\n

This type of thinking is a trap we\u2019ve all fallen into. By the end of elementary school, I\u2019d already decided that I just wasn\u2019t \u201cgood\u201d at drawing. But the truth is that I never took the time to learn how to draw. I didn\u2019t take art classes, I didn\u2019t practice. We tend to put art\u2014whether painting, writing or playing the piano\u2014into a separate category from other skills, a category that we surmise requires some special piece of DNA to be successful.<\/p>\n

Anyone can learn coding or phlebotomy with enough practice, we believe, but if you aren\u2019t an immediate violin virtuoso, there\u2019s no point in trying.<\/p>\n

Ask any artist about the years they spent honing their craft and you\u2019ll learn about the hours of practicing that complicated piece of music, the 50 failed sculptures before the masterpiece, the terrible first draft that had to be rewritten and revised a dozen times before it became a best seller. We see artists as innately talented, as overnight successes, because we don\u2019t usually get to peek behind the curtain at the failures and the persistence that led to their triumph.<\/p>\n

So when you write that first chapter but then decide it\u2019s complete and utter garbage, don\u2019t give up. Keep writing and by the time you get to \u201cthe end,\u201d you\u2019ll already be a better writer than you were before. Read a book or find a blog about how to craft a compelling story. Study your favorite novels to figure out how they pulled off that twist, what made you sympathize with the main character, why you just couldn\u2019t put it down.<\/p>\n

Write another book and another. Make friends with fellow writers who can help you find the flaws in your work (because bonus misconception: Writing doesn\u2019t have to be a solitary act). Use their feedback to improve your book. Write another book, revise it and revise it again.<\/p>\n

Is it hard? Yes. There will be days where you cry over your keyboard and wonder if you should quit. Nights where the words just won\u2019t come. Keep practicing; don\u2019t give in to self-doubt. Because in the end, the joy of creating\u2014of knowing you took a kernel of an idea from your head and turned it into something\u2014is incomparable.<\/p>\n
