What Fears & Obstacles Are Stopping You From Writing Your Book?

I've worked with coaches who initially had fears and blocks on writing their books. After sessions with them, they found that some of their fears were unfounded and they had a mindset shift.

There was a survey that was carried out where some writers were asked about the fears and obstacles that kept them from writing their books.

Below are the answers directly from them sharing their intimate fears that is keeping them stuck. Can you tick off some that you can relate to and also have?

Doing this would help you to focus on finding ways of eliminating or making them insignificant to have power over you again.
