A writer friend named Linda P. has this to say to anyone struggling with a project:
The root of procrastination is perfectionism.
And the root of perfectionism is low self-esteem.
I’ve been reading notes from writers conferences that I attended this year, and I’m amazed at the technical aspects of writing and selling a book. Bids and CTRs and Reviews and sponsored ads, line editing, developmental editing, beta reader, subtext … yikes! I felt very small and hopeless in the face of all that ocean of writing and promotion necessities.
But when I battle low self-esteem, I do have Someone to turn to who loves me very much: Jesus. Galatians 2:20 says, “He loved me and gave himself for me.” So, before I turn to the task of editing my 3rd book, I’m going to get quiet and read a devotion called “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young.
