Ask Donna – Doubts and Fears About Publishing a Book

Q: My big dream is to publish a book, I have so many ideas about it and have written it in my mind 10 times over. I like to think I can do it but then wonder who I am to think that I’m anywhere near good enough and will anyone read it anyway. Rose

The people who achieve great things are not the ones who had no doubts, they were the people who took action anyway, despite their doubts. Every author who has ever written a book had their doubts – even JK Rowling…and look how that turned out! Do it anyway! There are no guarantees that anyone will read it…but they definitely won’t if you don’t write it.

1. Write – put the doubts on the back burner for a little while, and write
2. Get a Dream Team around you – get the support you need
3. Don’t let the doubts and fears stop you.
