Third chakra blockage - help needed

[outerheaven]

Regarding your urge to start writing, Stranger, I like this article from Chuck Wendig (warning, strong language):

http://terribleminds.com/ramble/2013/02/...s***-done/

edit: the filter broke the URL, if you want you can type the dirty words in to fix it; but really the excerpt below says it all.

You’re going to write and finish the first draft of a novel in one year’s time.

You are going to do this by writing five days out of the week, or 260 days out of the year.

You are going to write 350 words on each of those 260 days.

That means, at the end of one year, you will have written 91,000 words.

More than enough for an average novel length.

To be clear, 350 words? Not a lot. At this point in your reading, this post is already 500 words long. You can sneeze 350 words. It’s like a word appetizer every day. Some days it’ll take you 15 minutes, other days two hours — but you’re going to commit to those 350 words every day, whether you type them out, or scrawl them in a notebook, or chisel them into the wall of your prison cell. You will carve these words out of the time you are given.

You get 24 hours a day. As do I. As do we all.

Grab a little time to write a little bit every day.

350 words a day is totally do-able man. You gotta start somewhere. As someone who always 'put off' that writing project hoping that divine inspiration would happen to strike me one day ... lemme tell ya: that moment probably ain't gonna come. The only way to get better is to to push yourself, to do it every single day.

And as far as people ridiculing your work? ... I won't lie, it comes with the territory! People don't realize that not all stories, not all ideas, are for them and sometimes react strongly with the nastiest words they can summon -- even for great works of literature. Just gotta forgive them, because they don't know what they do, and they don't know that their words can hurt actual living people.

... But what's that line about, if people aren't hating on you, you're not trying hard enough? The thing is, people will like your work, it's just a matter of finding your audience and growing that base. I can already tell that you are a strong, clear and thoughtful writer and I'm sure you've got great ideas given your obvious interest in far-out ideas.

Another line I like is: People can say you're a bad writer. Don't let them say you're not a writer.
