This is when it gets tough to write. ✍️ Feelings come up and self-doubt creeps in. It usually doesn't happen at the beginning. The beginning is exciting. 🤩 The idea feels alive. The possibilities feel endless. It's somewhere in the middle that doubt often shows up. 🧐 You start wondering: "Is this any good?" "Will anyone care?" "Can I actually finish this?" And here's what I've learned: Doubt doesn't automatically mean you're on the wrong path. Sometimes it means you're finally taking the story seriously. What has your biggest doubt been lately? Let's talk about it and a great way to help when this feeling comes up is to get a roadmap of the struggles and find solutions. That's what I do when I have my connection calls! If you're wanting that guidance, reach out and book a call! 📱

We love stories about people who did it all themselves. 🙌 👏 The lone author. 👏 The overnight success. The writer who locked themselves away and emerged with a masterpiece. But when you look closer? 👀 Most successful authors had: 📖 editors 📖 mentors 📖 critique partners 📖 beta readers 📖 support systems Writing may be a solo activity. Finishing and publishing often isn't. 💭 Who has helped you the most on your writing journey so far?

Forget word count. Forget productivity. Forget how much you got done. Think about YOU. What have you proven to yourself this week? Maybe: 🌿 You showed up. 🌿 You wrote when it was hard. 🌿 You got clearer. 🌿 You didn't quit. Books are built through those moments. This week I had been working on my speech and focused on fighting that inner critic that wanted me to throw in the towel. But I didn’t! I gave my speech virtually live yesterday and that’s because I didn’t give in to staying in my comfort. So, I have a question for you, What did this week teach you about yourself as a writer? ✍️

Before we dive into this day, I want you to thank you for coming on my storytelling journey through speaking! 🗣️ I'm so thankful for all of you that have supported me and for being here to see how writing a book can expand your reach in so many ways! You can get on stage and talk about your book, or connect to it in some way! You can meet more people and find support that can last a lifetime. You can reach the people that your book was meant for. What are your thoughts on taking that next step? 🤔
