Ever feel like your writing goals slip through your fingers—not because you're not capable, but because deep down, you didn’t trust yourself to follow through?
In this episode of The Confident Fiction Author, I’m sharing a personal story about a jet ski rescue during a storm, and how it revealed something powerful about confidence, courage, and self-trust. You'll learn why courage matters, but why building self-trust matters more—and how small wins in your writing life can lead to lasting confidence.
I break down simple, practical ways fiction authors can start building self-trust today:
– Set the bar low (hello, 5-Minute Fiction)
– Adjust your goals daily without guilt
– Use rewards to reinforce your progress
Tune in to discover how self-trust can transform not just your writing habit, but your entire author journey.
