Be Kind To Yourself!
This is my 4th day here at Wealthy Affiliates, and I have learned so much already. I love the community, and I love all the training.
I am so grateful for all the nice comments and the warm welcoming support from you all. Thank you!I was struggling yesterday with a post for my website. I usually have no problems with writing in English online, but yesterday I had big problems to write 1000 words on a topic I know. My mother language is Norwegian, but I have been using English for over 30 years.
I was pulling my hair out in frustration. I stopped and remembered that I was new to writing articles online in English. Then I said to myself, you only have to write a lot and every day and your writing will get better.
Just do the work. It doesn't have to be perfect in the beginning. Be kind to yourself.

If you can't write 1,000 words your post can be shorter and as you keep building your site you will learn how to write better. Content is key when starting out and I have a few posts that are under the mark but just adding content was what I took away for now. As you keep adding you will get more words. I think I only had three that were under 1,000 and then I can't go less than that now if I tried. You got this just keep pushing forward. Just starting so small steps will get you there.

Thank you for your comment and motivation. I guess I became frustrated because I am a writer in Norwegian, but I have now posted the 2 articles that I have created. The second one was almost there (950 words). I will work on my writing every day.
Thank you again,

Soon those will be in the past and you will have way more than 1,000 words a post. Keep it up and enjoy the weekend.

Great thoughts Janicke. Every journey starts with a single step and you have taken that. Keep taking those steps.
Enjoy the journey.
