Let’s think about this week. If you celebrated Easter maybe there was a lot of chaos. Or maybe it was nice a calm. ☺️ If you had a chance, let’s focus on the time you had to just breathe. 🧘‍♀️ Not what you wrote. ✍️ Think if you had a chance to realize something. Because Story First is about awareness before output. Start becoming more aware and you’re a step closer to becoming more clear. Then this is something you can use towards your book with Story First method. 👉 What became clearer for you this week?

Let’s play a game! I’ll give you a prompt and I want you to turn it into whatever genre you want. Prompt: “Two people meet unexpectedly.” Write it: 💥 As a thriller 💥As a romance 💥 As fantasy 💥 As comedy Notice how structure shapes tone. Drop your version below and interact with someone else’s! Let’s work on learning more about the different ways to present the scene from one another! Plus, it’s interesting reading others’ stories. So, why not let them know your thoughts?

One of the fastest ways to improve your writing is learning how to pull readers into a moment instead of simply explaining what happened. Today we’re practicing sensory storytelling. Many writers rely heavily on sight, but powerful writing uses all five senses. Step 1 Think of a simple moment. Examples: ☀️ sitting in a café 🍵 ☀️ walking through a forest 🌳 ☀️ waiting for a train 🚂 ☀️ opening an old letter ✍️ ☀️ standing outside during a storm ☔️ Small moments often create the most immersive writing. ✍️ Step 2 Write five short lines, each using a different sense. Sight Sound Smell Touch Taste Example: 👁️ Sight: Rain crawled down the window like silver threads. 👂 Sound: The quiet clatter of cups echoed through the café. 👃 Smell: Roasted coffee and warm cinnamon hung in the air. 🤚 Touch: The mug heated my cold hands. 👅 Taste: The coffee was strong and bitter. Step 3 Combine those lines into one short paragraph scene. Let the moment breathe. Bonus Challenge Write the same scene again but change the emotional state of the character. Emotion changes how we experience the world.

Something that helps me when I’m having trouble moving forward has been quotes that I’ve picked up along my path down this thin we call life. I have several favorites! AND, I’d like to hear some of yours! Share them in the comments and add a gif that works with it or an image! Let’s help inspire one another! ❤️

I have been working on something in the background and now I'm ready to share it! Many of you have struggled with what happens in between writing your book.
