So, I've been thinking and I realized that I haven't been sharing my newsletters here. I have recently started a newsletter on LinkedIn and I'm curious, would that be something that you all would be interested in? I can turn it into an email newsletter, or share it here. Let me know your thoughts on this since it's just another great way for you all to get information regarding writing! ✍️ Here's the link to the most recent newsletter on LinkedIn.

I've seen what happens when we expect writing to be good too soon. We write. ✍️ Then we stop. 🛑 We judge. 😠 Rewrite. ✍️ Stop. 🛑 Question. ❓ Delete. ❎ Try again. And somewhere in all that trying to make the story better, we stop telling the story. We lose what we wanted the story to become from thinking of what it should be. 😞 This is why I believe in imperfect writing. Having that first draft messy is the way to go! 😁 Your first draft doesn't have to prove you're a writer. ✍️ It doesn't have to impress your future reader. 📖 It doesn't even have to sound like the final book. 📕 What it does need is to be written. ✍️ Then it gives you something to work with. You might discover something while you're writing that changes the chapter. And that’s GOOD. You might realize a memory belongs somewhere else. 💭 GOOD. You might write something and know immediately: Yeahhhh...that's going to need some work. 😂 Also GOOD. Make a note and keep moving. 📝 There will be a time for editing. Right now? Let the story come out before you start telling it everything that's wrong with it. 🙌

This might be terrible marketing. 😂 But I don’t want you believing that you can only write when I’m there. I want to support you. I want to brainstorm with you. I want to help you see where something isn’t working. I want to ask the questions that help you go deeper. I want to help you keep moving when the book starts feeling huge again. And throughout that process I want you to become more confident in making decisions about your own story. Because someday I want you to finish that book and think: I did that. Not: Dani told me exactly what to write. ✍️ And if another book starts calling you afterward? I want you to approach that one with more trust in yourself than you had when we began. Maybe you still choose support. Great. 😊 There’s nothing wrong with having people beside you. That's what I love! 💕 Having people beside you to help you expand as a writer. ✍️ Support should help you grow. It shouldn’t make you forget that you're the writer. ✍️

Sometimes someone tells me: “I just need more motivation.” Maybe. But what if motivation isn’t the actual problem? What if you sit down to write and don’t know which part comes next? What if you have ten memories competing for the same chapter? What if every writing session turns into editing? What if you’ve lost sight of what you wanted the book to do in the first place? What if you’re trying to solve writing, editing, publishing, promotion and your future launch all at the SAME TIME? That would overwhelm me too. 😵‍💫 This is where support can change the experience. A coach doesn't magically write the book for you. At least, I don’t. What I can do is help you slow down enough to see: Where are you now? What are we actually trying to accomplish next? What is getting in the way? What can wait? Then we work from there. ❤️ Sometimes the writer doesn’t need another motivational quote. S/he needs a clear next step.
