I Don't Have A Problem Writing Anymore, It's Just.
Do you remember when you began WA and you found out you had to write...
Right! I felt the say way. I am a very quiet person until I get to know you or vise versa. Then, you can't shut me up, lol ;-)
Me getting to know you, you have to get to know me. As I open up, I am still shy. Some newbies may feel that way too.
Since October 2017, I have learned a lot. Should I be more further in the lessons and training? Yes. I am climbing to get there. It is so hard for to just skip through something because I never had any of these things before wealthy affiliate, like just G+ or Facebook.
I always had a G+ account but never used it or knew how until WA. However, me still trying to open up to the world my way.
When opening my personal Facebook account, I have so many people following from family, friends, and old coworkers. What gets me, I see people posting periodically to every hour.
Yet, when you tell them you can do the same and put a little extra in their pocket. Then, is no reply. I truly don't understand it. I feel so much better that I can write my own content of my own words but when it comes to Facebook, the fear begins again like when you first start Wealthy Affiliate. Well, for me, I should say.
You Are Already Writing Content On FB
What is so crazy, I have more fear of social media than in WA. Some may feels the way they are in person, they have to be that way in their content.
I see some people on Facebook that are post something every 30 minutes but nothing relevant to anything but a laugh. But if you ask these same people to write a 1500 word post, they would look at you like you are crazy. Yet, they do that everyday on Facebook. I see it every day and wonder why I can't something on Facebook.
Is it the fear of being judged by whoever is following you? I think that is my deepest fear of all. Yet, is it different from other judging you on your website? No, not at all.
Are Struggling To Write
When I first started I just stare at the screen like the words were supposed to appear out of nowhere. Unless you have magic up your sleeves, the words will not appear ;-)
If you start as a newbie and you are on your phone most of your day before you came in WA. Add Google Docs on your phone and type your content there. If will make you feel like you are writing a deep text message to someone or writing a long post on social media.
A lot of newbies are stronger than me. I barely have photos on my personal Facebook page. I know, it's sad. Some of you have had a personal Facebook page for so some years now.
That is a great advantage! You know how to get your point across social media. I don't care if it's just a thumbs up on a picture you liked.
That's how you have to look at your website. Your personal page on Facebook, is kind of your website of yourself. Things like, what you like, your thoughts, and things you wanted to share from others.
I Find Myself Just Wanting to Write, Nothing Else
I know some may think I'm crazy just wanting to write all day. Not knowing that is the easy part. Writing what you feel to help other in so many ways is such an amazing thing to do. That's why I love being in Wealthy Affiliate so much.
My writing skills sucked in the beginning. It took me to write one post in 2 weeks. Yes, 2 weeks and that was my About Me post. That shouldn't be hard if you're talking about yourself, right. It was so hard to get the words out or thinking how you speak is going to come out on paper.
Is my audience going to understand what I am trying to say? That where the support team of your WA family comes in. They will help you where your writing needs to be.
There was one member in particular that help me with my confidence in writing. I don't know why his words touched my heart the way that it did for me to understand what I was doing wrong when writing. He wasn't a top member at all but he is a top member to me.
Meanwhile, he was having his own struggles along the way. I was his shining member that he could come with no fear of shame or to judged. I felt like a strong nurturing sister that he can always count on. He made me feel so great about myself to write what I feel on my website where my fear wouldn't get in the way.
I thank Dahay so much for being so humbling to me. He gave me so much hope in my writing.
On another note, getting all the training and lessons down with my writing.
How To Keep Writing As You Do Lessons or Training
For some reason, this is where I am struggling the most. Putting everything I need to do in the whole day and to stay on task. My problem, I would start my routine one day, by checking all my emails. Before I know it, 3 to 5 hours passed by. I began to feel like, I am back tracking now. That's more weight on my shoulders.
The same goes when I try to change my routine and start my with writing first thing. Yup, same amount of hours passed by. I get so focused on that task where nothing else matters and me hurting myself more than helping.
I love having a daily routine to keep me on track of things and to keep me in line too. Checking members' posts for guidance, just haven't found one that grasp my attention to follow yet.
I feel I need help with this because I am always getting stuck too many times in one area for far too long when knowing I have other tasks that need to be done.
If any members can help me with this I will definitely appreciate it.

Simply outstanding post!!
I'm am so happy with your progress chrisie!
You are truly an inspiration to a lot of people here. Keep up the good work!
That is an awesome post, Chrisie, you are on the way.
I think that we can all suffer from that one, time unless it is managed just slips away from us, it is so easy to get sidetracked without anything to show for it.
What I do is run a time bank each week I know relatively how much time I have to expend, allocating time for each task works wonders, sometimes we spend more time on a certain task and others less, which all comes off that total or adds to it.
An hour less here is an hour more to spend somewhere else, initially, it is about creating the patterns so checking emails allocate time for it and try to stick to it, it is surprising how quickly we can develop a workable routine.
The online business is so much more than just creating content the real nuts and bolts is how we manage that content and what results we achieve through that process.
So don't feel alone, just a matter of working out your rhythms.
Hi Chrisie,
This post has touched my heart, I am having lots of trouble with my writing. I just can't sit down to write because I am so afraid when I don't know what to say.
My blog is about traditional food. I am specialized in the matter because I did a Master in the marketing of traditional food and rural development, but when I have to write about it I feel that my writing is boring and I don't know what to say.
I will keep on writing and trying to be better.
Thank you so much, your post helped me a lot, I do not feel so alone anymore,
Cheers, wish you all the best,
Isabella
