I know WHY you haven’t written your book yet!
As a writer, I know every trick in the book when it comes to excuses because I’ve made them, and I’m here to call you out right NOW! I don’t want you to make the same mistakes I’ve made and it’s frustrating me because I KNOW that now is the right time for so many people, but they’re choosing to ignore it. It’s time to get real, stop the excuses and face the barriers in front of us. No, I haven’t got a crystal ball and I can’t tell fortunes or read tea-leaves (although my Gran could), but I can tell you why you’re not writing. It’s FEAR! I know…

15 Ways to Make Money as a Writer
When I was young, I believed writing was a pipe-dream and I don’t even think I felt like it was an actual job. I think I had this idea that authors, were people who were already rich and could afford to spend time writing and once they wrote a best-seller, they were a celebrity. What surprised me the most when I began my writing business, was the different ways I could make actually money. I’m not a celebrity (at least not yet, lol), but I’ve made my fair share of money from writing over the last three years. I could tell you stories about the different ways I’ve made money…

Writing is a Skill for Life… So, Use it!
There are so many uses for writing and it sometimes frustrates me when people don’t utilise this skill. You see, writing is something we can all do and something we can get better at, yet we don’t always believe that and we don’t often believe in our own writing abilities.

If you can write, it’s a creative outlet and writing in the form of journalling is known to be positive when it comes to your mental health. Not only…

5 Ways to Overcome Confidence Issues as a Business Owner
As a business owner, there are certain expectations placed on us, and whether we sell products or services, people expect us to be a confident business owner. But why? It’s easier to buy off someone who is confident in themselves, their business, their products and their services. If someone said to you… “I think it might be the best ” you wouldn’t necessarily buy – we need that reassurance or promise. If someone said… “This is most AMAZING of the century and you don’t wanna miss out!” Or “This is the number 1 , guaranteed to change your life” More people are likely to buy. BUT… It can be really…

Why is Mindset so Important for a Writer?
Happy New Year! I always think that new year is a great time to make changes and reaffirm our goals. That’s why I want to talk to you about your mindset as a writer today. 2021 is OUR time! New year, new YOU! I always wanted to be a writer, but something was holding me back. I wasn’t sure what it was, but it held me back for years. I settled for job after job, but I didn’t really enjoy my work. When I found a job in administration for my local government, it was my manager who insisted I followed my dreams. She always pushed me to do more.…
