Join me for Free Book Writing Training Do you find yourself daydreaming about a time when your book is published, out there, making a difference in the world?

But you need to get moving on your book. Are You Stuck? Or Up and Running? Maybe you’re stuck—unsure… Read more
A Turtle Day for Creativity and Writing
How’s your creativity and writing practice? Could you use a bit of inspiration? I’ve been kinda quiet on my blogs, I know. I’ve been a bit more protective of my creative time while working on a personal writing project. Gotta take my own advice! I hope this post inspires you to do the same. Do you ever have trouble accessing your creative source—your muse, as I call it—when you’ve been running around “accomplishing” all day (or, perhaps worse, sitting at a computer all day typing)? A few days ago, running late for qigong class at the YMCA, I decided to… Read more
Thinking of Those Affected by Hurricane Harvey
While thinking about what to write in my first newsletter of the fall to the Write Your Book community, I found myself thinking about those in this community who are affected by Hurricane Harvey.

I’ve enjoyed visits from my sister, brother, nieces and nephew—painting watercolors on the beach, climbing boulders, touring a mansion (the luxury above as well as the underground tour of boiler rooms and electrical systems) and plenty of cookouts with bonfires under… Read more
Book Writing Tips: 9 Keys to Clarifying Target Market
Clarifying target market will help you write a book that resonates for your readers—from the title and subtitle to the tone, content, features and structure. With this clarity, your readers can realize, “This book is for me! It’s just what I’m looking for.” Without such clarity, your book is more likely to get lost in the general noise of publishing, or just not resonate for book buyers (think, too general and not targeted). Clarifying a target market also makes it much easier to market your book. Without a clear market (or markets) it’s hard to know where to reach your… Read more
