It’s the last Friday of the month. I’m sure April just began. I don’t know if it’s all the upheaval that’s going on in all our lives right now or what, but did April just fly by? It means it’s time to start promoting next month’s classes…two boot camps in fact, one is Plotting…
I’ve never had so much time on my hands. Have you been hearing this too? As a coach, I’m hired and paid to motivate writers to write, to get their book finished, and sometimes I hand out tough love. Here’s my tough love talk if you’re one of the many people who always complain…
I saw this quote the other day which reminds me that to be happy we all need to do something that’s in our heart. For most of us, that’s our writing (our method of life), whether it be fiction, non-fiction or even poetry. This week be sure to do something that puts a smile on…

I overheard this last week and it stuck in my mind. I thought I’d make it into a motivational quote graphic to share with you. I’ve put it on this Post It note to remind you how important it is to follow your heart, pursue your dreams now and not ‘someday’. Don’t be the person…
This quote reminds me that no matter how hard something is, even if it sometimes seems out of reach, if it’s that thing in life that matters and deep in your heart, you’ll find someway to achieve it. If it’s writing a book or becoming a freelancer that matters to you, you can do it.…
Seems like forever since I’ve posted anything here. Yes, I know I’m being overly dramatic and it’s only been two weeks. Welcome to the New Year and a very happy 2020 to you. Did you notice the slight tweak in the look of the site? My plan was to use a different theme but then…
It’s November 14th and if you’re taking this year’s NaNoWriMo challenge, guess what? You’re heading in the homestretch. The end is in sight. YAY! What a minute you say, I started out strong, I’ve been writing every day but I don’t think I can make it until November 30th. HELP! I felt the same…
It’s day five of NaNoWriMo, how are things going? One thing I always say is reward yourself for your successes (even the smallest ones). I’d like to reward you with a book, well it’s an e-book. It’s my Nailed It! Writing a Novel in 30 Days Journal and Planner. One person will receive a copy…
Today, I thought I’d share with you a process I go through when I’m in writing coach mode. My first question to a client is what type of book are you planning to write and in a couple of sentences, tell me about its plot. I’m hearing more of the same thing and as…
