I get it… Some days you just don’t feel like writing. The inspiration isn’t there and you feel like you don’t have anything important to say. Your writing career is on the back burner because you have so many other things to do with — your job, your kids, your life, everything. You keep telling yourself […]
Admit it, you feel like a fraud. You have dreams of building a writing career you love, but when you compare yourself to real writers, you can’t help but feel like you’re just pretending to be one. Sure, you write every day, but it doesn’t compare to the writers you admire — not even close. […]

I’ve been writing for two years now. When I started, I had no idea I’d write as much as I have or accomplish as much as I have. Like you, I had a burning desire to unleash the thoughts I had stirring around in my head. I thought about writing for far too long before […]
I’ve been guilty of spouting lies, so have many other online writers. Online writers and bloggers make success in the writing field seem harder than it is.
