Should I Write Daily? | Ep. 159

We often believe that we should write only when we're inspired to put something down. I get it, it's easy, it's what's the norm, but is it the right thing to do?
In today's episode, I talk about why you should write daily, and not when you're inspired to write. Learning the art of daily writing will not only make you a better writer, and before you know it, you'll actually finish your book.
Earlier this year, I learned that a dear friend of mine passed away. My friend Jennette was a fireball of writing energy. She'd come to each guild year and talk about her next project. In fact, Jennette was in the middle of writing her next book when she passed away. That is tenacity!
If you're not writing, you're not accomplishing the mission God's given you.
Inside this episode I'll cover these four principles to writing every day:
Schedule your time.
Decide how many words you'll write in each session
Write without ediitng.
Set a timer and write!

HOW DO I KNOW WHAT TO WRITE? | Episode 156

Blinking cursors are the bane of the writing life. Yet, how many times do we sit down and have zero clue what to write? How do we know what we should write and who our message is for?

It’s something I’ve struggled with daily in my writing. The blinking cursor keeps me from achieving my goals, but I’ll show you why that’s not really true.

What Do You Desire For Your Life? | Ep 155

We all have dreams, hopes, desires, and visions for our life. We ask questions, we seek advice, attend seminars, but really, the answer for what the future holds is already deep inside your soul.
 
In today's episode I want to talk about our belief patters and how they shape our lives. How we think is how we'll act. No matter if we're using negative or positive associations with words, our mind must find an answer for our questions.

Free to Focus on Your Writing | Episode 152

Have you ever gone through your day and wondered, "What did I accomplish today?" If that's you, don't worry, the vast majority of individuals have the same feeling. They do so many things, and yet, stuff doesn't get done. They're constantly busy, but nothing happens on their mental priority list.
Does that sound like you?
In today's episode, we're talking about being free to focus on the things that matter most. I was talking with our pastor the other day, and our crucial point of conversation was about to-do lists. Writing the things that are important on a piece of paper, and even the non-important. By having a simple list on your desk, phone, tablet, or even a simple post-it note, you will cross those items off the moment you're done. This is especially true with writing.

Be the Hero of Your Story | Episode 151

What is success? We often feel as if we don't measure up to others and that they are more successful. We take the role of the victim and wonder who's going to rescue us from our troubles. 
 
In today's episode, We're talking about how you can be the hero of your own story, how to stop playing the victim card and begin to find success in your family, ministry and life.
 
One of the greatest hindrances to success is playing the victim card. We take something that's happening in our life, look at it as a glass half full, and wallow in our ineptness that we can't perform at a high level. However, we can transform ourselves from seeing ourselves as the victim to seeing ourselves as hardworking heroes of our own story. 
 
How do we do this?
