3 Tactics to Squash Your Inner Critic While Writing

You’ve finally carved out time to write, but just as you start typing, your inner critic shows up like a menacing Balrog! While channeling your inner Gandalf and shouting, “You shall not pass!” sounds great, it’s not enough. Your inner critic won’t disappear with one command—you need practical strategies to silence it and keep writing.

In this episode, I share 3 proven tactics to overcome self-doubt and perfectionism so you can confidently write your book:

📝 Follow Your Inner Critic – Recognize where your doubts come from and challenge them. Are they true? Have you grown past them? 📝 Be Proactive – Use affirmations to remind yourself that you are a writer. God has equipped you with clarity, vision, and purpose! 📝 Tell Your Inner Critic, “I’ll Get Back to You” – Don’t let small imperfections stop your progress. Put them in a “mental box” and address them later.
