Did you know… Writing (on the page) is the easiest thing in the world: you pick up your pen, pencil, start typing. You write. The End. But, what happens *before* you write (off the page) is where the REAL magic (and misery) happens. Performance anxiety, dread, perfectionism, & pressure will make writing hard as hell. These feelings will lead to hating what you write, bitter comparison, writer’s block, and never starting or finishing your book. And we don’t want that. We want you to write with ease and flow—even when sh*t gets hard. We want you to share a book with us that makes YOU all excited so we can be excited with you. 😊😀 We want you to start and finish your book. So, when writing is hard, please don’t make it worse by being hard on yourself. Take a deep slow breath. Take a pause if needed. And also yourself: what’s happening off the page that’s keeping me from writing today? How can I take the smallest step to be with all my feelings? I know what it’s like to struggle with writing. I also know what it’s like to create work I’m proud of, get published, and finish write a book. I’m an editor and a book coach who will help you get started and get it done.

Write (and live) as if the ones in the middle mattered most. If focusing on an imaginary audience while you write feels good and helps you write more—do that. If focusing on an audience while you write makes you all nervous and people-pleasey, then write for yourself. Your audience will find you either way. • #writerwednesday #writersgram #writersblog #writersworld #writerswrite #writerquotes #writersofinstagram #writersworkshop #writingideas #writingproblems #writingtime #writinghelp #writingclass #writingcoach #hannaheko #bookcoach #honeyistheknife #findyouraudience #amwritingfiction #amwritingnonfiction (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaNyo_EPvHC/?utm_medium=tumblr

There is a delicious tension between what you want and what you need. This tension lies at the heart of every struggle you meet. You may want fast but your body needs slow. You may want the superficial image but your soul needs depth. You may want the newest thing but your minds needs the old, tried, & true. You are not a problem to be solved. Think of some stubborn habit you feel defeated by: -Comparing yourself to other shiny writers -Not writing for weeks (or months or years) on end -Major procrastination where you always write last minute -Over-editing your work and not being able to move on -etc. What actions do you usually take to “solve your problem”? What is your pattern? What do you want? Now be honest: what do you need? Will what you want give you what you need? 87.5% of writing more, writing better, and feeling connected to your work isn’t about writing regimens, craft, or even writing itself. It’s about your emotions. It’s about identifying the tension between your want and your need. You do this by: -Allowing all your feelings and knowing they are all useful (yes, even bitter jealousy and paralyzing anxiety…) -Being honest about what you want (what you really really want). -Being honest about what you need & treating your need just as importantly as the want. Do this over and over & watch your writing life & your off the page life change for the better. I send out magic flavored yet deeply realistic reminders like this one in my weeklyish moonletter.
