"In a way, all of us have an El Guapo to face some day. For some, shyness might be their El Guapo, for others a lack of education might be their El Guapo. For us, El Guapo is a big, dangerous guy who wants to kill us. As sure as my name is Lucky Day, the people can conquer their personal El Guapo, who also happens to be the actual El Guapo."
See the inspirational speach here. Are you inspired? I am.
As writers, we each face our own personal El Guapo. We face obstacles that prevent us from being the writer we desire to be. For some, finding the time to write might be their El Guapo, for others commas might be their El Guapo, for others character development or dialogue. For me, El Guapo is the doubt that my writing will ever measure up to be what I want it to be.
So how do we face our personal El Guapo? Practice. Persistence. Patience.

Good luck to each of you in facing and defeating your own personal El Guapo.

My El Guapa may just be my computer that keeps crashing on me.
I have to many to name! But thanks for the encouragement!
