If you came to me today and said: “Dani, I want to write a book.” 📖 I wouldn't immediately pull out an outline. I'd ask you something first. Why does this book need to exist? Not why you want to write a book. 📕 Why this one? Why this story? ❤️ Maybe there's something you've learned that could save someone years of struggle. ❤️ Maybe you want someone going through what you experienced to feel less alone. ❤️ Maybe there's a story you simply can't stop thinking about. That's where I'd want to start. Because once we understand the heart of the story, we have something to come back to when writing gets difficult. So today I'm putting YOU in the coaching chair. 😁 Why does your book need to exist? Give me your answer below. ❤️

Thought that this event, along with many others thatvthe Benjamin Franklin House run throughout the year. If you are a storyteller you might wish to use this platform to tell your story linked to the subject matter at the time. Worth a look. I found this on Instagram.

I want to try something with you today. Think about one experience from your life that you tell people often. Now ask yourself: Why do I keep telling this story? Maybe it makes you laugh. 😂 Maybe you're proud of who you became. 😊 Maybe it reminds you of someone. 😍 Maybe it completely changed the way you see life. ❤️ Now go one step deeper. What did that experience change inside you? 💥 That's where things get interesting. 😁 Sometimes the story isn't simply what happened. It's who we became because it happened. Give yourself ten minutes today and write about it. ✍️ Don't make it perfect. Explore it. You might discover something you didn't expect. ❤️ If you do this exercise, come back and tell us what you discovered! Let's support one another by commenting and sharing our thoughts.

Have you ever looked at your book and wondered: “Does anyone really need this?” I think that's a question many writers quietly carry. 👀 You spend so much time with your story that it starts to feel normal to you. You know the lessons. You've lived the experiences. You've thought about these ideas hundreds of times. But, your future reader hasn't. There could be someone who opens your book one day and thinks: “Finally. Someone understands.” ❤️ That's what I want you to remember today. You aren't only writing pages. 📑 You're creating an experience someone else may need. ❤️ Tell me below. Who do you hope your book helps? ❤️ Be as specific as you can be. Maybe you want to help people with anxiety. But that's too broad. What if you say, "Someone who has trouble sleeping at night and the thoughts just won't settle within their mind." That's more specific. Share below! 👇
