I thought I’d share with you my writing and teaching plans for the new year… I’ve decided that 2020 will be the last year I offer my coaching and mentoring service.

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?…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-It’s Beginning to Look a Lot like Christmas!
Oh no, it’s snowing yet again. And yes, it does look like a Christmas card setting outside but I’m dreaming of warmer climates and maybe a beach… The mini-retreat is now history and the two weeks flew by. If you were one of the students, thank you for signing up, and I hope you had…
Take It Easy
Here’s our final guest blogger for 2019 and it’s Mageela who writes on a topic all of us should take note of. (Let’s all wish Mageela a happy birthday!)

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.

Now the question is what do you do with the story, here’s five I asked myself after I took the challenge for the first time in 2013. Did It Go As Planned? I don’t know about you, but…
Monday Motivation-Fall and Rise
Even if you didn’t finish NaNoWriMo or get to 50,000 words, it doesn’t matter. You attempted it which is more than most people do. Like this quote reminds us, fall but you can always rise again. In fact, falling makes you stronger the next time around.
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Black Friday Shopping, Free Books and Snow
Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoying some Black Friday shopping. I have to admit when I woke up I didn’t intend to buy anything but I found a deal on the latest iPad and I couldn’t say no. I know I’m going to put it to good use for reading, watching movies and…
Monday Motivation-What Impossible Really Means
I love a quote that reminds us to turn something negative into a positive. Only we set the boundary between what’s possible and what’s not. Don’t let not writing your book be part of your impossible.
