The inner critic is a formidable opponent in a writer’s journey. It is the voice inside our heads that constantly reminds us of our shortcomings, mistakes, and failures.
When staring at the empty page, our inner critic becomes even more vocal, reminding us of all the reasons why we are not capable of writing anything worthwhile.
This constant inner dialogue only adds to the anxiety and hinders our ability to tap into our creativity.
Steven Pressfield called this The Resistance. And, it can be overcome.
