“Whether it’s money, grades, promotions, popularity, attention, or just plain material things we want, scientists agree: seeking out external rewards is a sure path to sabotaging our own happiness.”

Keep Moving Forward

Posted in Writing, tagged , , , , , , , on November 30, 2024| Leave a Comment »

“If we wait for the perfect time, we won’t ever write.”

Writer, audiobook narrator, puppeteer and award-winning author Mary Robinette Kowal knows that external pressures can do a number of your writing, and that the best way forward is to keep moving forward. 

As a way to help, she’s offering a Free Class: Barriers to Writing

Hey there… have you been having a hard time writing? Yeah. There’s a lot of that going around right now.

This class looks at what keeps people from writing. It’s less about problems with the story and more about all the external things. It covers environmental factors, mental health, and tricks for compensating for all of this to write.

I’m sharing this class for free, because I suspect we could all use both the boost and distraction now and in the coming months.

Hope this helps.

Do What You Can

Posted in Writing, tagged , , , , , on November 23, 2024| Leave a Comment »

Some days I don’t have time to write, but today I have a different problem. I have time, technically, but don’t have the mental space to write. 

And that has to be ok. 

Do what you can, where you are. For me today, that means being ok with the fact that writing is off the table.

Until tomorrow!
