The Writers Journey: How To Get Out Of Your Own Way When Writing Your First Book

Do you dream of writing a book—but can’t seem to get started or stay consistent?

You’re not alone. Despite the endless tools and writing tips out there, the vast majority of first-time authors never finish their manuscript. Why? It’s not a lack of knowledge—it’s the inner blocks of fear, doubt, and perfectionism that sabotage your progress.

In The Writer’s Journey, Petros Eshetu shares his personal story alongside the voices of 18 first-time authors, revealing what truly holds aspiring writers back—and how to move forward anyway.
