How to gain confident with my writing?

11 Years Ago


First of all I want to say hi to every members of this group. I'm a writer in my country, Malaysia. I had been writing professionally for five years with 9 novels published by 3 major local publishing companies. BUT THE THING IS..None of my novels written in English. Trying to get myself to another level, I started to write one. But i just couldn't find the confident every time I wrote my manuscript. 

Question is, how can i gain more confident with my English writing? I never get B's for my English but since I had been wrote 9 novels in Malay (Malaysian Language) it seems like I had lost confident with my English. 

Please guide me guys. Thanks you in advance.

From my experience I would say; read the kind of books you enjoy, start with writing short essays about something simple and basic. Confidence will come after you write and review your work. If you feel good about your work each time you write then you are on your way. Drop your work for review on this site so that language, grammar can be checked. It takes time.
