Hi, welcome!
You have joined a wonderful, supportive writing community and taken another step towards reaching your writing goal(s). Woohoo!
Do you love writing, want to write or have ideas swirling in your head? Then whether you’ve always known you love writing or only found out recently, have been writing for years or haven’t written much yet, want to share your writing with others or keep it to yourself—you’re a writer.
Doing the Write Thing is here to
cheer you on (woohoo!),
share tips and resources to help you hone your writing craft,
motivate you to keep writing,
keep you updated on my writing projects,
inspire you through insightful Q&As with fellow authors and publishing professionals, and
help you feel good about writing.
All this is meant to help you feel “writerly” (I love that feeling!) and to help inspire your writing, which will motivate you to pursue your writing goals and dreams.
I have a career in writing, so I know what it’s like to get excited about writing and also to address writing challenges.
I’m a mommy and I work, so I understand how important it is to keep a strong work-life balance.
Also, I’m a fellow human being, so I know what it’s like to feel a lot of feelings and to think about a lot of things, and how all of that plays into writing.
I hope that Doing the Write Thing can help you stay excited about writing so that you’re motivated—and equipped with the knowledge and tools—to make time for and actually write. There’s also room here to feel comfortable not writing when other priorities come up (more on how you can still-be-writing-when-you’re-not-actually-writing in a future newsletter!).
Thank you SO much for subscribing and for trusting me to help you on your writing journey. This is a supportive, kind-hearted writing community where everyone is welcome, and everyone is welcome to share and cheer each other on.
I hope you find what you’re looking for in the “pages” of this newsletter so you can keep Doing the Write Thing!
