Monday Motivation-What Do You Want in 2020?
This is our last Monday Motivation for 2019. I recently found this quote and thought it a really powerful one. While it could be applied to any pursuit, use it to ask yourself if writing a book, becoming a freelance writer, or even beginning your journey as an author, is in your plans for 2020?…
Monday Motivation-The Only Thing Stopping You
When it comes to motivation, a popular theme is focusing on what’s stopping you from attaining your goal. This week ask yourself that question. Many times it’s us and no one else. You’ve heard of the saying about someone being their own worst enemy. Don’t be yours. Don’t say I can’t or I could never…

Have you been putting off starting that book or short story? Use this week to get the first sentence or chapter written. Every story begins with that first step…
Monday Motivation-Let’s Set Goals
In the upcoming free class I’ll be teaching, we’ll kick things off with a lesson on setting goals. I like to think of them as a roadmap or the modern GPS. I’m devoting this week on TWL to motivation and that starts with goal setting. Write down your writing goals and keep them handy…
