There is a phrase I hear a lot from my book coaching clients. They say, “I am so confused.”
My answer is simple: What if there is no right answer to your question?
See, every writer wants to know “this or that.”
Should I write this topic or that topic first?
Should I use this style or that style?
Should I purchase this writing program or that writing program?
Should I go to this writing conference or that writing conference?
Should I self publish or traditionally publish?
Should I approach this literary agent or that agent?
No wonder new writers feel so confused! There are so many decisions to make. That is why I always say that writers must learn to be very good decision makers.
