This is what my writing desk looks like today: research and getting some thoughts down by hand. I find that I think just a little bit differently with pencil and paper than I do at the keyboard, and when I'm feeling stuck, sometimes all it takes is changing things up a bit.

It's noon! A little later in the day than usual, but I'm finally at the laptop getting ready to do some writing on the new novel.

As a life-long learner, there will never come a time where I will say I’ve learned all there is to learn. There will always be new things to discover and new ways to look at things.

As a writer, there will always be new concepts to explore and challenging craft elements to practice. I’ll never stop experimenting — how will writing in a different tense will affect my character? How will writing in a different POV affect the flavour of my storytelling? As a life-long learner I will always seek out feedback and differing reader opinions, ask the advice of editors and coaches.

In this world of so many burdens and responsibilities, sometimes the gift of keeping an open mind and actively seeking out new ways to understand and portray the world around me is the only true gift I can give myself.

What does being a life-long learner mean to you?

I always have several books on the go at the same time, and I read each one for a different reason. One is light, easy-to-read novel for bedtime, another is a literary novel and takes more brain power so I read it during afternoon breaks. I’m curious to know …what are you reading right now? And when do you read it?

As I slowly work on improving my website and start

As I slowly work on improving my website and starting my book coaching business, I’m feeling a lot of push-back from inside myself.

Fact: it’s hard starting a new business. Fact: it’s hard figuring out exactly what to say and how to say it. Fact: it’s hard to take the leap of faith and say “I’m doing this”…and then do it.

You know what? Starting up a book coaching business feels suspiciously like starting to write a new book. Go figure! Same push back. Same angst and frustration. Same dificulty figuring out how to say what’s on my mind. Same little devil sitting on my shoulder shouting “imposter” at me.

But I’m doing it anyway.

I’m doing it despite the fear and uncertainty. I’m doing it because, underneath it all, I deserve to pursue the dream of coaching writers, just like you deserve to pursue the dream of writing your novel.

I’m pleased to be in such good company. I imagine that Jane Austin spent considerable time mulling over her stories with a knitting project in her hands and a cup of tea at her elbow, just like I do. What do you do while mulling over your story?

Part of my summer reset is paying attention to my physical and emotional health. Writers spend a lit of time sitting, so I've started up my daily yoga practice again. Not only is it good for body & soul, it clears the mind for creativity. How do you take care of yourself? #writersofinstagram ##amwriting #amwritingscifi #amwritingfiction #bookcoach #bookcoaching #writingtips #selfcare #selfcaretips

It's an emotion-filled day as we cross into the Yukon, soaking up a landscape that is as familiar as my own skin. My heart is shouting with gladness - we're back, we're back...we're home! Wherever we may live, our hearts are home in the Yukon. Where does your heart call home?

Day 4 driving north. This is my last morning with cell service & data for a couple of days as we'll be on the Stuart Cassiar highway shortly after breakfast. Kinaskan Provincial Park tonight . Yukon border tomorrow night. We're really talking our time this year. 🙂 ⛺️

Ideas are starting to wake up - ways I want to personalize the blueprint, and worksheets to share with clients that will be unique to my voice, coaching & teaching style. Ideas for the first draft of the new novel. Ideas for more novels. So. Many. Ideas! The creative reset has begun and gets stronger with every kilometer travelled. Crazy!

What's got you fired up this morning?
