So, I had created an 8 minute speech that gives you a look into storytelling through a speech! 🎤 In this video you get a taste of melted shoes and the connections that it has towards writing a book! 📕 Now, this is a speech competition and if you hadn’t already, I’d love to get your vote if you liked my performance. 🎭 Check out the other competitors at The Public Speaking Community!

I have joined Skool’s biggest public speaking competition! In this, I get a course which guides you through how to build your own signature talk, everyone gets to deliver it live, and there’s a chance for visibility + to win some big prizes. A signature talk is something that’s been on my mind for a while, so it seemed like a good idea to enter. The talks are due before June 19, so the clock is ticking! When we're writing a book, getting onto a virtual stage or a live stage are great ways to let people know about you and your story! So, talking about your book is vital to get more visibility on your book. 📖 Besides me, @Ben Sherry , @Justin Yip, @Wolfram Grohnert, @Björn Hagemann, and so many more! I can't wait for their talks! 🎉 More info about the competition here: https://headgain.com/skoolx How to JOIN: 1. Join The Public Speaking Community 2.

Write a short scene where your character has to choose between: What feels safe vs What feels true Don’t overthink it. Let the tension lead.

Do you ever go to the gym and really push yourself? Maybe you’re lifting weights and you’ve got one more set. Or you’re on the treadmill and there’s half a mile left. There’s a moment where I pause, tighten my resolve, take a breath, and jump back into the exercise. Writing feels a lot like that to me. Last year I wrote four books in one big push. By the end of it, my brain felt completely fried, so the past few months have mostly been recovery. But lately I’ve started to feel that same sensation again. The breath before the next set. Not a frantic sprint. Just that quiet moment where I know it’s time to step back up to the bar. For me, the smaller pieces along the way, essays, posts, conversations, are like the lighter sets that keep the muscles warm between the heavy lifts. So I’m curious where you are right now - where are you in your writing gym? Are you in the middle of a heavy push? Catching your breath between sets? Or taking a recovery day before the next one? Or…are you looking at your running shoes and gym membership and thinking, “Gosh, I need to get back in there”?

A great way to inspire others and to give them an idea of how you work can be through showing them your space. Now, for me, with it being winter time here in Sweden, my writing space has changed back to the house. 🏡 My writing space in the warmer times is lovely and is a tiny building. Unfortunately it’s not insulated. So, I like to be warm, by the fire while I write nowadays! So, share below in the comments your writing space!
