Hi there and welcome along to more tips

and advice for writers here on writers

life my name's Peter and today

struggling to finish your novel try

these strategies finishing your novel is

no mean feat and in fact most people

that attempt to write one never get to

the end if you are struggling to finish

your novel

don't let it defeat you for there's

nothing quite as satisfying as getting

it done

try these practical strategies to help

you first silence your inner critic

the most common reason writers don't

finish is because they end up self

sabotaging their own work they start off

feeling yourself they aren't good enough

and no matter how much they edit their

story or try to change parts of it they

just seem to be making it worse

eventually giving you're up on it

altogether feeling defeated and beating

themselves up because they don't feel

they've got what it takes

silencing the voice that tells you

you're not good enough is paramount to

your success how do you do this well

find encouragement from outside sources

have a positive mantra that you repeats

yourself every day and take a break from

your manuscript and come back when

you've got a fresh mindset find solace

in the knowledge that pretty much every

writer at some point feels the same

about their work become logical and

reasonable and don't expect perfection

of yourself there are many ways to

silence your inner critic

paying attention and making sure you do

will help give you the momentum you need

to get to the end and next stop

procrastinating another hugely common

reason for a person not to finish their

book is because of distraction people

get caught up in all the other things

they have to do with their lives taking

care of their families their day job

checking social media save that picture

they posted of their dog in a jumper

gets lots of likes whatever it is that

keeps you from writing you need to find

ways to stop letting it take over have a

dedicated writing time when your family

aren't allowed to disturb you get into a

writing routine where you get up an hour

earlier so you can write before you go

to work turn off all your devices before

you sit down to write whatever it takes

to eliminate procrastination do it

otherwise you'll never finish your book

gets clarity even if you manage to

silence your inner critic and stop

procrastinating you still might face

another big problem that can kill at

your story before you get it to the end

and that's simply becoming confused if

you start to get muddled and write but

don't really know where your story is

going it's easy to run out of ideas and

out of steam properly prepare for

writing a novel before you start have

your entire story mapped out do your

research

sketch out chapter outlines get to know

your characters the more planning you do

the less likely that confusion will be a

problem and the more determination

you'll have to finish your book be brave

the final reason that a writer might

stop writing is fear this is different

to the inner critic because it's not

necessarily about thinking your work

isn't good enough it's just fear of the

unknown and making yourself appear

vulnerable of sharing your thoughts and

feelings with the world

writing isn't for cowards but

remembering what motivates you to write

and that having the courage of your

convictions to do so will pay off in the

end

finishing your book is a considerable

challenge but the rewards for doing so

is immense so if you're struggling to

end your novel use the strategies that

we've mentioned today to help you push

over the finish line and don't forget if
