My week has been about:

🌀 teaching a class on building a story spine by getting to know your character's fears;

🌀 teaching my twice-monthly teaching & coaching call for my group program members;

🌀 editing client manuscript pages;

🌀 turning in curriculum to Ithra for my creative entrepreneurship class in Saudi Arabia in 13 days;

🌀 working with my team on behind the scenes creative business operations

🌀 and I am writing on my novel toward THE END - already at 100k!

I feel proud of the work I'm doing as a teacher, editor, and coach, and business owner, and I am a nervous about my upcoming Saudi Arabia trip. And excited too.

And how I feel about my work as a novelist on my current WIP - I am amazed, proud, excited, worried, and determined.

I want to give a thank you shout-out to Kat Caldwell and Marci who ran the writing retreat that I taught in this week. They were fab! And so were all the writers who attended my class. Thank you!

Also, a huge shout-out to Shannon Borg, my co-teacher for the Ithra creative entrepreneurship class. She's been a great to work with and I'm so grateful to be in this collaboration with her. I couldn't teach this course without her.

Next, I'm finalizing and turning in the creative writing class curriculum for Saudi trip; prepping the next 3 podcast episodes (so I don't have to work on them while I'm away), and... drumroll please... finishing my book! (And running the business, as always.)

But before I do all that (big hand wave), I want to send you this link because -- self-care and mindset are everything:

Hope that’s helpful.
