Taking Pen in Hand—How to be a Writer Who Writes
Experience tells me that many people want to write, but don’t. “As soon as,” they say; or “If I had more time,” or “I used to write, but I don’t any more…” and they trail off, a hint of longing in their voice. Truth is, there’s really no magic to becoming a writer. All you have to do is, well—Write. Is it really that simple? Yes, it is. With eight-pages of ideas, easy-to-follow exercises, tips and guidelines, this DIY Workshop can help you be a Writer Who Writes by showing you how to create a sustainable writing practice.

Invitations to the Muse
Writing is a creative act and being creative, having the ability to create, is in our DNA. But sometimes, we forget. Sometimes in the midst of the work and the world, we forget that we are assigned to be the makers of stories, creators of magic. Sometimes we just don’t feel inspired. That’s why I created this Creative Writing Kit, to help you remember how wonderful you are, and that inspiration is available to you if you make time and space for it. This DIY Workshop offers eight-pages of ways to invite the muse into your life and your writing. Exercises, explorations, how-tos, what-tos, ideas, and more are all yours with just a click of the “Add to Cart” button. The Muse awaits.

The most common advice given writers is, “Show, don’t tell.” But what exactly do those words mean and how do writers put it into practice?

On Being an Honest Writer — Telling the Truth vs Stating the Facts
Writing is a courageous act; we must be willing to tell the truth about what we experience, what we feel, and how we see the world. For our readers to trust us and for our writing to matter, we must find the emotional truth behind or under or surrounding the facts in whatever we’re writing—fiction or nonfiction. This is, of course, easier said than done. This DIY Workshop looks at what can get in the way of telling the truth, how to maneuver around these bumps in the road, and how to deal with the truth that may be hurtful to others.
