When You Let Other People's Opinions Stop You From Writing

It’s easy to let other people’s opinions—or our own inner critic—shut down the writing dream God placed on our hearts. But your worth as a writer isn’t measured by negative voices or discouraging comments.

In this episode of The Christian Writers Podcast, Kathleen Guire shares practical, faith-rooted steps to silence the noise and move forward with confidence:

1️⃣ Seek honest encouragement from people who lift you up 2️⃣ Limit the voices that tear down your writing dreams (and learn how to “dissent from the noise”) 3️⃣ Join a supportive writing community Bonus point: Meditate on Scripture to renew your confidence and courage

Don’t let criticism derail your calling. You can write squeaky-clean, meaningful stories that honor God and connect with readers.
