WCP236 Judge me

As a species, we’re pretty judgey. As working writers, we’re constantly having our work judged.  Sometimes it can feel like how someone feels about our writing is how they feel about us. When we add our own judgement of somebody else’s judgement, things get sticky. Fear of judgement (by an editor, a friend, an anonymous reader who leaves a comment, or even ourselves) can be a major blocker.   This episode is a bit shorter than normal to give you some time to write into a prompt in your freelance journal. 🔗 You might also like … WCP 16: Freewriting for freelancers WCP 74: Why you’re the one WCP 1: What’s your problem? 🎁 Download my free guide on how to pitch freelance article ideas, “5 Proven Steps to Writing Queries that Sell.”  www.rebeccalweber.com/howtopitch ❤️  Support the Writing Coach Podcast with a review on Apple Podcasts, sharing a link on your website or in your newsletter, or in your next social media post.
