“80% of writing is not writing… …it’s resting and dreaming; …it’s planning and building the structures. If you have a structure, you can make progress without being linear. You can be in the phase that you are - and not work against yourself. To find flow, go through the phases: inspiration - resting/massaging the idea - planning and building - to finally writing — and repeat all of that again ✍️ “ - the “Phases of Creativity” lessons are on the classroom tab of this Skool group and I highly recommend listening to them/watching the lessons if you haven’t already done that 📚 In which phase are you now? (I’m hoping that I got this right, I was driving when I listened to the lessons!)

So excited to share this win!! Book📚 Award🏆 ! Our publishing company, Red Thread Publishing, is thrilled to announce another Book 📚 Award🏆 !

See you there? Another amazing session... synchronicities. @Mary Burch Harmon @Michelle Hicks @Carla Miller @Sierra Melcher Sierra Melcher, Mary Burch Harmon, Michelle Hicks, and Carla discussed their writing goals and processes, with Mary Burch seeking help getting started and Michelle and Carla expressing excitement about joining the writing community. Melcher presented a cyclical writing methodology, community resources (live sessions, Q&A calls), and collaborative opportunities like the By the Light of the Moon anthology. Participants are encouraged to utilize community resources and connect with each other for support and accountability. Next Steps: - Explore the resources in the Writing 101 course and the community platform to understand the methodology and plan her writing process, determining her preferred approach to setting deadlines (structured or flexible) and identifying key questions to guide her writing (title, audience, purpose). - Connect with one or two other people in the community to establish a weekly check-in system for accountability and support.
