| One small step today... 💟
|
|
| | If you work on your book a little bit at a time on a regular basis (for me it's generally 4-6 times per week), eventually you'll finish it.
This is what I tell myself as I finish another round of edits on my bridge short story (a story between novels). The story is better after this latest round of edits, but it still needs work. So, I need to make space to restart the revisions and I need to figure out some things about the story.
To do that, I ask myself questions about the theme and the decision that triggers my main character's realization. (Among other things.)
I trust that asking myself these questions will generate answers from wherever creativity comes from. I'll generate the answers by free writing. I love free writing. I empty my mind and heart on the page and discover my truth at the edge of the cliff of risk.
What about you?
What do you trust in your creative process?
How does the one step at a time idea land for you?
What is your one small step today?

| | STEP INTO YOUR WRITING LIFE
I love learning new writing skills. One of my teachers has been Daniel Calvisi, who has helped me learn how to write screenplays. (I've got a free scripts under my belt.)
TL;DR: - Write and edit your book so readers will love it, plus get expert feedback on your fiction or non-fiction book
- Self-publish your book and position it to reach bestseller status at launch
- Build your author brand, platform and website and market your books using top tips, strategies, tools and resources
And much more…
Including a great deal on a Clarity and Change work session with me.

Have a happy and creative week! Happy Writing!
All my best,
Beth
P.S. One of the reasons I am comfortable promoting and sharing Write Publish Profit 5.0 (read: shouting from the rooftops to all who will listen!) isn't just because of the products and contributors (they're amazing), or because it's the best 'bang for your buck' (it is) ... it's also because the guys over at Infostack have a zero-risk, 60 day, 100% satisfaction policy. It’s ironclad and one of the strongest "risk free" policies I’ve ever seen (and they stand by it). That means you get a FULL 60 days to check out all the products inside the collection. If you aren’t 100% satisfied, they don’t want your money. Period. There’s nothing better: 99% off, 50+ premium writing and self-publishing resources, my personal endorsement of Infostack plus NO RISK to your wallet.
