In this free 50-page ebook, I dive into the harmful lies we’ve been told about creativity — and take a look at the truths we need to move forward and create our best work.

I Can Do A Magic Trick
I can do a magic trick — I can log in to a social media account and make all of my time disappear! I know, it sounds impossible that one or two or even three whole hours could simply vanish while I’m scrolling past photos of lattes and incendiary political tweets, but… it’s true! Can you relate? Are you a magician, too?
I Miss It
I’m not going to say anything new here, or anything that you haven’t felt more or less intensely for yourself. But I miss going out for a really good cup of coffee.

“Success” means something different for each and every creator.
For one writer, success means...
I Have No Idea What I’m Doing – WNP 100
It’s the 100th episode of the Write Now podcast! Today I’m asking: Do we place ourselves in an area of our lives where we expect ourselves to know all the answers? Do we bring on stresses over our creative journeys, over things that we expect ourselves to have the solutions for? What would happen if we truly allowed ourselves to admit that we have no idea what we’re doing?

My 10 Biggest Writing Struggles – WNP 099
Every writer faces their own struggles, from time to mindset to spelling to making money. There is nothing perfect in our journeys, and conditions will never be perfect. All we can do is take today, get rid of the negative impacts, replace them with positive impacts, and move forward purposefully in your growth as a writer who is enough.

Writers’ Risk And Potential Loss – WNP 098

How Hard Are We Working For Someone Else’s Dreams?
Last week, we talked about how...
The Struggle Is Valid
The idea that writing and creating is (or should be) fun and easy all the time, or that if you find it difficult then it’s not somehow “for” you, is incredibly toxic.
Permission To Suck – WNP 097
Does that little voice inside your head tell you that you cannot produce anything but perfection, or that you are not qualified to have the title of “writer”, or even that you are not good enough to be in a “writer’s world”? In this episode, I give you permission and the secret key to move forward on your creative path.
