The pilot just said WHAT? ✈️

Can you imagine being on a plane, buckled into seat 14B, ready for takeoff, when the captain's voice crackles over the intercom:

"Hey y'all, I'd really love to fly this plane today, but... I just can't even. Pilot's block, you know?"

Would you calmly say, "No worries, Captain! Take a nap. We'll wait!"?

HECK TO THE NO.

Yet some kind of way, it has been accepted that "writer's block" is a real thing and a legitimate excuse to not write. But we'd never accept pilot's block, dog walker's block, or mail carrier's block.

It makes me giggle to think about me getting a pass by using dishwasher's block, dog-feeding block (they'd lose their minds, Rogue and Shadow), or answering emails block.

Now, if you think this doesn't apply to you, you might be pleasantly surprised to learn that any block can be addressed with the strategies I'm sharing this week and in my book.

I know for a fact, after writing almost 70 books (and crafting more than 500 for clients) that writer's block doesn't exist. Before you press reply, or unsubscribe, settle down and stick with me. You might not be able write at times, but this isn't your granddaddy's writer's block--it just doesn't exist in the way we've thought it does.

What we call "writer's block" is usually one of three things:

A belief block (you don't think you can)
A behavior block (you haven't built the habit)
A time block (you haven't made space)

And all of these are totally fixable. With the right tools, mindset, and structure, you can be writing as easily as you breathe!

That's why I wrote There Is No Such Thing as Writer's Block—to help you turn the faucet on and let those words FLOW.

There Is No Such Thing as Writer's Block

I wrote a book during a terrible year 💔

Reading time: 35 seconds The year I lost Mr. Pickles, my beloved cat of twelve years, was one of the hardest of my life. We were giving him fluids daily at the end to provide quality of life, and watching him just get older, knowing his kidneys were failing, was rough. There were other complicating factors in my life, making it one of the toughest of my life. The grief sat heavy on my chest. Some mornings, just opening my laptop felt impossible. I had a battle within myself--can I? Should I?...

Book, journal, course, or done-for-you? Here's how to choose.

Reading time: < 1 minute I hope these past six days have helped you see a path from "I want to be an author," to understanding (some of) your options. Hopefully, you see at least one possible path from overwhelmed to published. Should we talk about which option is right for you? Well, we're here so why not? Each option works, and each one has helped someone become an author. The question isn't which is "best"—it's which one is best for you, your business, your schedule, and, of course, your...

What if you didn't have to write your book after all?

Reading time: < 56 seconds We've covered the DIY path and talked about three of the resources I have (there are more, I'll talk about them soon). But maybe along the way, you've realized that you don't actually want to write your book yourself. There's a side of my business I don't talk about a lot here. For those who want to delegate the entire process, while they focus on the business at hand, I have a bespoke book publishing option. They had the expertise, the desire to share it, and the...
