I just made a seriously bold statement: that there’s never anything to fix because you’re perfect exactly as you are. An extremely bold statement. One that most people probably wouldn’t agree with me on. But I stand by it. A big problem that so many people have is that they’re always trying to fix things […]
The other day one of my hubs’ bandmates was hanging out at our apartment. We were just shooting the shit about whatever, as we usually do when he asked me a question that almost caught me by surprise. He asked me: do you write every day? It took me a second to realize that he […]
You’re not gonna screw this up. I know you think you will and you have all this noise in your head that says why even bother and who are you to write your novel and you’re just wasting your time. But you won’t screw it up. You can’t possibly screw it up because you’re always […]
I’ve been in the professional writing world for 16+ years and worked with hundreds of writers in all different capacities, and I can now look at writers and tell you based on their habits, beliefs, mindset and the actions they take (or don’t take) which ones are never gonna make it.

One thing I’ve committed to in my life is that I will NOT take action based on fear. I used to do that and that’s when my life SUCKED and everything was a STRUGGLE. So now when I’m going to take action on something I ask myself, “am I doing this out of fear?” and […]
I’ve worked with hundreds of writers over the last seven years, in workshops, private coaching and through free challenges and events that I’ve run.

For the last few months I’ve been really committed to working through my old, limiting beliefs and creating new ones that better-support the direction I want to go in my life and business. And as I’ve begun to create these new beliefs, I’ve also begun to see them show up in my life. But along […]
Over the last few days I’ve been wrapping up a content edit for one of my clients. I do a lot of content editing in my business for writers who’ve written a draft and now want to get feedback to make improvements. I’ve never enjoyed a content edit as much as I did doing this […]
Since moving to Austin, I’ve finally picked up a Roku, which is a device for streaming on your TV (I used to use my Nintendo Wii for streaming–ancient, I know!!). And some of the programming on Netflix is different, depending on which device you’re using. The other day I was scrolling through when I came […]
So often I see writers posting about and talking about the fear of losing ideas or having their ideas stolen. In the world of today, it’s a legit concern, of course. But that doesn’t mean it’s something you have to constantly worry about or focus on. I haven’t really talked about this much, but in […]
