10 Mistakes People Make with Writing (plus 1 bonus):

1. Think they don't have what it takes.
2. Compare themselves versus being themselves.
3. Forget that, like anything, you get better by doing.
4. Quit after laying an egg or two (even the best write a bad piece once in a while).
5. Overlook that there are tricks to the trade that can only be gained by reading.
6. Don't focus on their strength subjects.
7. Try to make too many points in one piece (turn it into a 2-parter or longer series?).
8. Spend so much time on the content (the guts) that they neglect crafting a capturing title.
9. Forget to use spell-check (or to get another set of eyes to proofread).
10. Don't write as they talk (make it like you're having a conversation with a friend).

BONUS Rationalize away hiring a writing coach.
