Before You Write Another Chapter, Try This

Sometimes we're so focused on finishing the book that we forget to ask why we're writing it in the first place.

I wish I'd asked myself some of these questions more clearly before my first book. 😫

When other people's opinions started coming in, I didn't have a strong enough compass for deciding what belonged and what didn't.

I felt like THEY knew better than I did with MY OWN story… 😔

So, this week, I don't want you worrying about word count.

I want you to spend a little time with your why. ❤️

💥 Your Story First™ Exercise 💥

Open a blank page and finish these sentences without trying to make your answers sound good:

✍️ I'm writing this book because...

✍️ The person I hope finds this book is...

✍️ When that person finishes my book, I hope they feel...

✍️ If this book could do one thing for that person, I would want it to...

✍️ The part of this story I don't want to lose is...

Don't edit your answers and don't turn them into marketing copy.

Nobody even has to see them. 👀

Just tell yourself the truth and then read them back.
