Why I Created Before You Begin
Plus a sneak peek at the workbook
Want to know a secret?
I spent years secretly hating writing. For a long time, it felt more like a “should” than a “get to do.” Then like many of you, I became a mom. I suddenly had way less time and energy, but I felt more inspired. Funny how that works!
I knew the only way to keep going was to find a way to enjoy the writing process. That’s exactly what I figured out how to do.
Along the way, I grew as a writer, and I learned how to bring a more creative spirit to my work. So now, not only am I writing more, I’m writing more original, interesting books. The practices in Before You Begin have brought me comfort when I’ve felt stuck or unsure, and I truly hope they will do the same for you, so you can:
Get excited to write
Feel clear and confident about your next project
Understand your creative strengths and weaknesses more deeply
Develop touchstones you can turn to throughout the writing process
Create something you’re proud of
