What would you say your biggest hurdle in writing a book has been so far? The motivation, the confidence, the subject matter, all the toilet paper in the whole world is gone?

I have considered writing a book but I have doubts about what kind of audience I'd really be targeting and if they would be receptive.

Thanks for the question Jake. The impostor syndrome is definitely there but the biggest hurdle is knowing when to stop writing and when to expand. Keeping the target audience in mind helps but I definitely see where an editor is needed =)
