1. Be patient. Don't expect your book to get written overnight. It takes time.
2. Keep writing. Commit to a certain number of words a day or week and make sure you get them done.
3. Don't compare yourself to others. There will always be those better off and those worse off.
4. Show early drafts of your work to those you trust and ask them to be harsh. The criticism will help you rework your drafts.
5. Take some time before editing your manuscript. You may find that you are your best critic, by just giving yourself some space from your work.
