One of the biggest barriers facing a new writer – a blogger, a novelist, a copywriter – is the self-knowledge of just how far away you are from their ideal.

As a fiction writer, I have a whole folder of novel starts that got trashed because of procrastination. As a blogger, I was crazy enough to pitch to ProBlogger (and yes, fail) when my own analytics were damn flat.
