How To Overcome The Fear Of Writing

Yesterday,my MUET teacher asked my whole class to write an essay titled as 'No Man Is An Island' and what all we need to do was to think and discussed about it in the class before we start to write it at home.

I feel overwhelmed by the fear of putting down all of my ideas into writing form.I noticed that I kept on telling myself that I could not write well.An evil in my mind is discouraging me to sit down and write.That is the reason why writing seems to be like a burden rather than a form of pleasure or delight to the students in primary,secondary,college or even university levels.

I realize that it is a MUST to overcome the fear of writing in order to score MUET writing part with flying colors.Maybe I should not have underestimated my own ability and skills in writing.I admit that most of my friends told me that I have a talent or natural ability in writing.Even so,I am still lack of confidence in writing.I read a lots of books or compositions.Apart from reading widely,I also used to write numbers of narrative essays or short stories.I LOVE reading,but that does not mean that the ones who reads can write well.

I am being in a dilemma.I know that no one could help me except myself.I could not and must not give up writing,no matter what.Last week I have written a composition emphasize on the issue of obesity.I am quite satisfied with that composition which I have spent hours to finish it.

I used to learn and memorize at least 30 new vocabularies or words per day.Read and read and read for hours.I still could not figured out why I still doubt it.My dear God,please give me the sacred power to help myself get out of the space of fear.

To complete the writing work,I have no choice but to find the way out.I have read and searched some information on 'How To Overcome Fear Of Writing'.Here's the tips to let go of the fear of writing:

1)Pen down your goalsIt is better that you get imaginative ( if you are not ) as being imaginative encourages you write better and you are able to get the best out of you which will help you in writing effective posts.

2)Never underestimate yourself- Don’t get nervous think that you are the BEST.If you start trusting yourself then you are bound to give your best shot. Remember one thing your intuitions will be always better than others as you know your business well.

3)Plan your content - Start brainstorming yourself for ideas.If you are writing about making money from your blog then write about the various money making strategies stating with benefits,facts and figures.It is always advisable to include your own tips along with the facts.In short do try to give a personal touch.

4)Invite guest writers - You can always invite others to write for your blog choose the writers effectively, who know their business well.Your readers will appreciate as they will get varieties.


5)Write anything but do writeIf you are running short of ideas or simply feel blank then write anything whatever going on your mind.Just let the ideas go flowing.You can also upload a pic or a video which is worth sharing with your readers.

6)Out source your work- If you feel that you will be unable to do the work yourself then it is best to hire services of others to your work who are the best in their field. But you need to know one thing that you need to know the work which you are outsourcing as it will then only bring the desired results.

Fear has no evidence its just your imagination!

Hopefully it could help me to write an essay.
I wish I could complete the essay tomorrow.
