Create YOUR Writing Life

Lesson Learned & Shared

This year I am taking on the #100dayproject by sharing one lesson a day from my Stop Writing Alone journey. I am looking specifically for the lessons I not only learned myself, but the ones I find myself repeating to writers and creatives in my community over and over again.

Create YOUR Writing Life

There is a lot of advice out there about how we are each SUPPOSED TO show up to our writing. Most of it is incredibly well meaning, coming from writers who figured out their best writing life that has gotten them on best selling lists and yields writing productivity along with a lifestyle they are ecstatic with. Replicating their process may give you the same best selling results, the same writing productivity, but please don't ever forget the importance of maintaining the lifestyle you are ecstatic with.

Take advice, adapt it, find the parts that work for you, and release the ones that don't. Give yourself permission to CREATE YOUR WRITING LIFE.

You may have to "break the rules" to do so, but don't worry about that, all you are doing is writing new rules. Rules that work for you.

What "writing life rule" doesn't fit with YOUR writing life?

My #100DayProject for 2024

Introducing my #100dayproject for 2024:

To know me is to know I have a teacher soul. At the end of the day, my passion is learning and sharing that learning with anyone willing to listen. So, when it came time to think of a project that I could realistically take on for 100 days straight, it had to come back to that passion.

For the next 100 days, I will share one lesson learned each day that I find myself continually sharing with writers and creatives in my community. There are plenty of things that come up again and again (in fact, I'm kind of betting that there are at least 100 of them!) and it's about time I wrote them all down somewhere. Let's see how far we get with these mini lessons, let's see how many you remember me chanting before, and how many you needed to be reminded of!
