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!

Hey everyone! I hope you all had great holidays! Now it’s time to get back to work! I want to hear about your scribbles, new ideas, and what your plans are for this year! Let’s celebrate the wins, losses and everything in between! Now, you might be wondering, why celebrate the losses and the in-betweens? The losses give you a way to learn and grow. The in-betweens can help guide you in some direction as long as you’re taking action. A shovel doesn’t push the snow unless someone is using the shovel. The pen does not write the story, it’s the person behind the pen. 🖊️ So taking the steps are vital to get to where you want! Now, share so that we can grow together and support one another! 😁

Most writers assume writing feels hard because they’re undisciplined. That they lack consistency. That they just need to “try harder” or be more motivated. But in my experience, that’s rarely the real reason. Writing becomes hard because you’re carrying things into the work. You’re holding: 😩 emotional weight from the story itself 😩 self-doubt about whether your voice is “enough” 😩 old stories about being seen or judged 😩 the pressure to get it right the first time 😩 the fear of opening something you don’t know how to close That’s a lot to ask of a blank page. 📃 And yet, most writing advice only talks about structure, outlines, word counts, and productivity, without ever acknowledging the human sitting at the desk. 🧍‍♀️ That’s why I don’t just teach structure. I work with the writer behind the words. Because when you support the nervous system, the emotions, and the inner dialogue, the writing starts to move again, naturally. Not forcefully. Not through shame or hustle. Support doesn’t mean you’re failing. It doesn’t mean you’re “bad at writing.” It doesn’t mean you’ve fallen behind. ❤️ It means you’re honest about what this process actually asks of you. ❤️ It means you care enough about your story to hold it with intention. ❤️ It means you’re serious about finishing, not just starting. And you don’t have to do that alone. If you’ve been thinking, “I don’t want to carry this by myself anymore,”message me SUPPORT or write it in the comments and we’ll talk about what kind of guidance would actually serve you. You deserve to feel supported while you write. ✍️

Did you know @Dani Rosenblad James does kickoff calls!? I was a bit nervous at first because the story telling I'm wanting to do is not actually writing a book. Dani was very open to sharing ideas on impromptu story telling, giving props life and character. As well as how to use my voice to give details and emotions. I sincerely appreciate her excellent ideas and advice on how to build up my confidence. I definitely look forward to scheduling another meeting in the future and highly suggest other storytellers let Dani kickoff their book too.
