I really thought I'd be further along by now. 😂 My fantasy book has taken longer than I originally planned. And you know what? I'm learning to be okay with that. ❤️ I'm learning from my characters. ❤️ I'm figuring out what works for me as a writer. ✍️ ❤️ I'm running The Storyteller's Path. ❤️ I'm spending time with my family. ❤️ I'm living my life. ❤️ And I'm still writing. 📖 That's something I've had to remind myself of. A writing journey doesn't have to look perfect to be real. I'm learning things through writing my own book that also help me understand the writers I work with in completely different ways. So I'm not rushing this experience away. I'm living it. Learning from it. And continuing to write. ✍️ Now I want to hear about YOUR journey. Has your book taken longer than you originally expected? What has the journey taught you? Share it in the comments! 👇

Sometimes the moments that stay with me aren't dramatic. They're moments of relief. I worked with a writer who had put her book down for years. The story was still there. The desire to finish was still there. She simply hadn't finished it. Then she found support and she started moving again! 😁 And eventually she got to say something she'd waited years to say: She finished her book. And got it published. 🎉 I love moments like that. ❤️ And it’s more than helping guide someone on creating a book that now exists in the world. I think about all the years that story sat unfinished. Then something changed for her. She didn't have to figure out every part of the journey alone anymore. 😊 If you're looking at an unfinished manuscript right now, I want you to imagine your own moment. Opening that finished book. 📖 Seeing your name. Knowing you finally did it. 🥳 If you're ready to explore what it could look like to have someone walking beside you, send me a message. Tell me about your book. 📕 I'd love to hear where you are with it. 💛

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.

Since today is my birthday AND my son's, I figured to shine the light on authors! A great gift for authors would be to give them reviews, share about their book, and be supportive! SO, I'm sharing this with you all! ❤️
