Motivational Minute with Racquel Henry #78

We have a special treat on Motivational Minute #78 on Writer’s Atelier TV this week. Our very own founder Racquel Henry is bestowing her pearls of wisdom upon us!

Has fear ever paralyzed you from taking a risk in your writing career? Has it stopped you from writing in general, or stopped you from calling yourself a writer?

So many of us are waiting—waiting to start, waiting to take a chance on our work, or waiting to take a chance in our work, for that matter.

Why? Because the words on the page are ours. They’re close to our hearts, and we’re afraid of not only rejection of our work, but rejection of ourselves.

The reality is that we’re doing ourselves a disservice if we’re holding onto our stories and not sharing them with anyone else. Someone out there just may need to hear what you have to say.

Racquel wants to encourage you to take a chance, be bold, get the words on the page, and write brave.

Happy writing!
