Is your writing process haunted?

Are ghosts and goblins lurking around your keyboard, preventing you from writing the truth?

What will my mother say when she reads this?

Are witches waiting to pounce on your every word?

Will my peers think I’m an imposter?

Are spiders hiding in dark corners, waiting to crawl on you the moment you’re not looking?

I can’t tell that story. It’s just too personal.

Are ghosts from the past paralyzing your future?

I can never live up to the success of my last book/program/workshop.

Well, then.

Invite these ghouls and goblins over for a cup of tea. Let them say everything they have to say. All of it.

Are they right? Do they have valid points? Maybe, perhaps. But are you really going to let them stop you for finding out for sure?

You have let them speak, now thank them and send them on their way.

And if that doesn’t work?

I’ll be your exorcist.
