Thanks to Anna from: www.creativecatalyst.co.uk who highligted Petruska Clarkson’s (therapist and writer) Ten Secret Laws of Good Writing.

1 It will always take at least twice as long as you anticipated.
2 70% of your efforts and resources will be wasted.
3 Cultural and personal demons in your head will attack it.
4 As soon as you really get going you will be interrupted.
5 You will think it is the worst thing you ever did.
6 You will reach a sdtuck point where you feel despair.

8 You will be judged and criticised.
9 There will always be people who do better and worse than you for no clear reason.
10 If only for a moment you will think it the best thing you ever did.
