Many of us have a hard time to write every day. We have a difficult time to even make some space for our writing. Yet, if we are serious about our writing, we must show up and write regularly. In other words, as the saying goes, writers write. Here are some tips to help you…
Spring is a season of growth, change, possibility, and renewal. Have you ever thought of using these ideas and plug them into your writing life? Spring can be such a great time to renewal and refresh your goals. Many of us have stale goals. They don’t seem to go anywhere, and they bore us. Even…
Over my many years of coaching writers, I have discovered that most writers fall into two different categories when it comes to their writing: they either do too much or too little.
