How can you develop a support system to become more resilient in writing?

I love the idea of "brain dumping" Brain dumping is usually the method of blocking out time to write everything down , no matter the subject. If you are specifically writing a book or an article , the method would work the same except specific to the topic you're writing about. What this does is offer you the consistency in being intentional with "exercising" your writing muscle memory. Once you get the hang of it, you'll develop different strategies towards a more traditional approach of writing style.

"La escritura es un viaje, no un destino." "No te rindas con tu sue?o." "Cada error es una oportunidad para aprender y mejorar." "Confía en tu talento."

This is easier said than done. We have an inside joke among writers about how much we love our different tropes WIPs. But yes, I have a couple of questions and answers in mind, for example: Why is it important for you to write? Why is it important for you to write THAT story? And what do you want people to get from your stories? Those questions are always inspiring and a bit easier to set up than your goals as a writer.

Connect and support your mentors. While they give you advice and also support you, don't forget that mentorship is a two-way street as well. It is not just about getting value for yourself but also giving value to them.

Discovering a mentor, or better yet, a sponsor (someone willing to leverage their resources to support you), is crucial for advancing your career as a writer—or in any field, for that matter. From my own journey, I've learned that mentors are all around; you just need the courage to ask for guidance.

Find your cheerleaders! Find others who are where you’re at now (or have been there) - they’ll understand your disappointments and failures and commiserate - they’ll also encourage you to get back up. A problem shared etc etc. PLUS the more writers like you that you talk to, the more you’ll see that disappointment, rejection and failure is just part of being on a writer’s journey - and the faster you accept this stuff comes with the territory - and the faster you’ll build resilience.

Para mí ha sido fundamental acompá?eme en el proceso de escribir cuando se trata de textos largos, como un libro por ejemplo. No es fácil definir a priori cuantas horas le vas a dedicar a escribir al día. Depende de muchos factores, que no son determinísticos, como la creatividad y la inspiración. Los textos hay que dejarlos decantar y en esos tiempos es cuando otra persona puede ayudar mucho a estructurar mejor las ideas, detectar incoherencias, recomendar profundizar más o menos en alguna idea, etc. Algunos le llaman editor, pero para mí es más que eso. Es alguien más involucrado que un editor, alguien que comparta el propósito y conocimiento del tema, para que su aporte vaya más allá que la corrección de textos.

You can build your writing community or join one. Make sure that you commit yourself to these communities so that you can also actively gain and enhance writing skills together with your fellow writers.

Writing is all about community! You gotta find yours and it has to be diverse too. You need a community of different stages of writers, and different experiences as well. A community where you can find feedback, beta readers, and advice! Social Media is a great place to find these communities.

Grupos de redes sociales:?Muchas plataformas de redes sociales, como Facebook y Goodreads, tienen grupos específicos para escritores. Estos grupos proporcionan una plataforma para conectar con otros escritores, compartir tu trabajo y participar en discusiones sobre temas relacionados con la escritura. Es natural que los club de lectores también compartan con los escritores por lo tanto estar en grupos de lectura también ayuda, además de son tus primeros clientes como escritor

Use apps that will help you get feedback for your writing. Online writing tools will give you that - and these tools will have their communities, too! Join in the support community, ask questions, and see how fellow writers also efficiently use these tools.

Yes! If you don't have time to review all the platforms and apps for writing, use TikTok. There are professional reviewers of those platforms and apps, and you can decide for yourself after seeing the summary. There are apps for worldbuilding, scenes, and dialogues. I use Milanote, I love how straightforward it is and their template is always on point.

For me, embarking on the journey of writing articles was an incredibly challenging and intimidating experience. It took me months to complete my first piece, which was both short and cautiously safe. At my sister's suggestion, I decided to hire an editor to review and enhance my work. Since then, I've continued working with my editor, and this collaboration has significantly strengthened my reputation as an article writer.
