Spend a moment reflecting on your current “normal.” How has the writing world changed since you first started? Identify one emerging tool, platform, or storytelling format that intrigues you—and commit to exploring it this month. The new normal waits for no one. Will you choose to step forward?
This week, redefine how you measure success in your writing life. Pick one non-traditional metric—maybe improved dialogue or deeper connection with readers—and track your progress over the next month. Notice how this shift in perspective changes both your writing process and your sense of accomplishment. What will you measure differently today?
Reevaluate how you price—or perceive the price of—your own creative offerings. If you’ve been defaulting to the cost of a “large pizza,” pause. Consider the hours, passion, and craft poured into your work. Experiment with a pricing strategy that honors your efforts. Will you dare to value your writing at more than a quick meal?
A “Unique Story Proposition” refers to the core essence that distinguishes your work from other authors in your genre. It could be your voice, the angle you take on familiar topics, or the way your own life experiences shape your storytelling.
Choose one step—whether it’s clarifying your core values or seeking supportive allies—to help you stand out without losing yourself. How will you find the balance between “you” and “them”?
Clarify Your Core Identity: What do you want readers to think of when they see your name?
hen we talk about “brewing your writing with purpose,” we’re exploring the concept of tying a bigger mission or social cause into your creative output. It might be as subtle as weaving themes of environmental stewardship into a novel set in a forest, or as direct as donating a portion of your book proceeds to a literacy program.
Writers often wrestle with a familiar question: How true does this story need to be? Some argue that every detail should align perfectly with reality to maintain credibility. Others believe storytelling is about emotional truth, so bending facts for the sake of a compelling narrative is fair game.
he “selling water” metaphor stands for taking a simple idea—maybe an everyday observation or a universal theme—and showcasing it to readers in a way that feels immediately relevant.
At its core, this dilemma boils down to how you tackle revisions. The “one sweep” approach suggests you can solve every structural flaw, remove extraneous characters, and polish dialogue in one heroic editing pass. The “small tweaks” method encourages you to edit in layers, focusing on one aspect of craft at a time—like pacing—before moving on to another—like character development.
Your next move is simple: pick one writing challenge you’ve conquered—or are in the process of conquering—and craft a step-by-step solution others can follow. Then share it. Not only will you help fellow writers, but you’ll solidify your own methods and stand out as a voice of experience. What how-to guide will you create today?
No matter how you incorporate a “live” element—whether through serialized posts, candid updates, or subtle immediacy in your prose—the result is a deeper connection.
It takes more than a proficient writing process to turn a blank page into a novel.
It’s a journey from a writer distracted by the use of multiple tools – for writing, time and project management – to being an author capable to plan efficiently and write multiple books at the same time using one platform.
