This is a story about how a random comment from a 12-year-old changed me forever as a writer.

If you haven't been able to write your novel, it may not be about the book.

It might be about your fears, your belief that you're lazy, that it's time and not energy that's holding you back.

All of those things are changeable.

You can change them.

The Year of Writing Magically is based in writing community, and it makes such a difference to have a group of people writing alongside you... including me, a multi-published, NYT bestselling author who is not just leading the workshop, but taking it as well.

The Year of Writing Magically made writing so much easier for me, because it's based in community, and designed to focus on you as a writer, so you can focus on your story.

So many writers come to the Year of Writing Magically worried that they're not good enough.

They always are.

So are you.

Sometimes it's more fun to have written than to do the writing.

That's okay.

The version of you that exists one year from now will be really glad you took the chance and signed up for a year of magical writing.

It’s Community Week at the Running of the WIPs, and we’re going to learn about how the actual magic that is community can significantly reduce the friction in your writing process.

What does the voice inside telling you you’re not good enough have to do with healing from trauma?

A lot. Actually.

You may think your biggest challenge as a writer is plotting, or procrastination, or innate talent.

It’s not.

Your biggest challeng is how you talk to yourself.

If you’re a writer, there is one part of being a writer that often gets ignored, and it’s the mindset with which we approach our writing.

Change that, change your life.

And today on the Running of the WIPs, that’s what we’re talking about.

Today at the Running of the WIPs warm-up blog (free writing tips, instruction, and advice all summer), I'm talking about the difference between fixed and shifting processes.

Over the course of ten months, I will walk you through everything you need to do to write a book... a lot of which is the mindset work you need to do before you write.

This week on the Running of the WIPs, as we warm up to start writing together in the fall, we need to start by shifting our focus from the writing, to the writer. We start with process.

My thoughts on whether authors should read reader reviews. TL;DR: It's complicated.

We are in drafting for the Year of Writing Magically Workshop, and each day (well... most days) I pull a Tarot card to give people a random shot of meaning should they need something to get started. On the first day... I drew The Fool.

Am thrilled to find all this research that supports the things I instinctively threw into my workshop last year.

I mean... I could have done that same research, but I went with the "this feels right" approach and huzzah! I was right!
