Almost to the weekend. Finish the week strong. . .
Daily check-in: Writing goal: Word count or are you needing to edit some words - what does today look like? Marketing: One action. Just one. Doesn't have to be big. Share below. Let's hold each other to it.

I am going to write a chapter today that sits in the 1000-2000 word range so it is ready for me to post to my substack! As far as marketing, I am going to post on my socials, a post related to what I'm reading and one related to what I'm writing!

@Lorna Bailey went okay! Some bumps along the way but not bad

Why did you start writing?
Every author has a reason! I’d love to hear even the ones that maybe feels a little embarrassing to say out loud. Was it a book you read as a kid that made you feel less alone? A story that lived in your head for so long you finally had to let it out? A hard season of life that needed somewhere to go? Share with us below. 🖤

I've always loved stories. The magic of it all as a child. I wanted to live and breathe it. As an adult, that feeling lives inside me still, but I also want to give back. A handful of stories have been there for me right when I needed them. They showed up in my life to teach me, comfort me, and let me know I'm not alone. I hope that I can become a positive part of the cycle and create stories from my heart and soul that can reach someone when they need it. If I can help one person feel understood and know they aren't alone, then I have made it.

Show me the money! 💰
If you want to write full-time, have you sat down and added up your monthly expenses? How much do you need to make before you can take the leap? If your current day job provides benefits, what are some alternatives for those as well? This can be a daunting task, but also give you a concrete goal and a set amount to work towards. Don't share the numbers below, but share with us if you have done this before or need to do it. And if this isn't your goal, no problem. :) You can share that too.

I need to do this. I have done unclear versions of this and cas my vision out there before, but I need to get some hard numbers down and set some real goals.

Quick check-in: where do things feel most disorganized? 🗂️✍️
Running an author career means juggling a lot! Writing, editing, marketing, emails, launches, finances. . . Oh yeah and then your personal life! 👉 I’m curious: Which part of your author business feels the most disorganized right now? No judgment here. This is just about clarity. Once you name the messy spot, it’s much easier to start simplifying it. If you feel comfortable, share what’s feeling chaotic for you. Chances are, someone else is dealing with the same thing and we can help each other out. 🕯️

I would say that my writing schedule itself feels the most disorganized right now. Trying my hardest to start the year off my setting boundaries and standards with myself and get it in a better place!

Questions to reflect on. 🕯️
As we close out another calendar year, take time this week to reflect on the past 11 months. . . I'll be posting a question each day of this week for you to take time and think about and reflect on your author journey. Sometimes we reject reflection, because we fear and regret the past. But I urge you to poke through the last few months. The past is invaluable in helping us identify Today, reflect on and journal on this question: What are you leaving behind in 2025? Feel free to share your answer in the comments below, or journal on your own and leave an emoji in the comments below when you're done.

I am leaving behind the comfort of familiarity. I'm giving myself permission to take a risk and go for the life that I long for.
