Procrastination Preparation

Leave a reply

I’m teaching a Master Class for two weeks, starting Monday, Avoiding (& Using) Procrastination.

 As I went over the lessons, updating and rewriting some sentences, I got to review the content again. I’m always amazed at the science of procrastination. We’re told we’re awful people if we procrastination, but the science behind why we do it is eye-opening.

Then add the complexities of our actions that can include triggers and anxiety, and well, procrastination becomes a well-used recipe for disaster.

After I researched the topic more thoroughly, I discovered I could be in full control of my procrastination: choosing when to use it or choosing to dismantle its hold.

The best part of teaching any class for me is seeing my students’ aha moments. When they suddenly realize they have empowerment over a myth that they once considered as truth.

  • Do you struggle with procrastination?
  • Would you like to have super powers to dismantle its hold on you?
  • Would you like to learn how to change your perception and actions of procrastination forever in just a few minutes a day for two weeks?

There’s still time to join the class!

Finding Your Fire & Keeping It Hot

Finding Your Fire & Keeping It Hot

A new year and a new me! What an explosion of events and opportunities that have come my way the last couple of months!!! And, I’m on fire, as a result!

Truly ironic on a night of fireworks as we usher in the new year. It’s 2 a.m. and I just finished the final edits of my newest book, Finding Your Fire & Keeping It Hot. It goes out tomorrow for a second round of beta readers. It’s a how-to book a number of friends and writer friends have been asking me to write, and it’ll the first of a series of how-to books.

This book is one of the projects going on my New Year’s Eve of 2022 to-do list. You probably do a list of New Year’s Resolutions. I’ve always created a to-do list for the year. Way more fun than resolutions! And, these multiple explosions that have been happening are all going on that list!

2022 is going to be a happening year!

I’m in the process of creating a newsletter where subscribers are going to get the first reveal of these exciting happenings, which includes a sneak peek and details of my mystery, the first in what I expect to be a series.

To those who are wondering about my Laurel Ridge novella series, yes, I’m in the process of finishing the series this year—publishing the entire series. Details will be in the newsletter.

And, don’t forget – I’m teaching Time Management for Writers in February through Laurie Schnebly’s WriterUniv website. It’s a class for writers and anyone else who wants to manage their time better. To enroll or to get more details, go here.

You can subscribe to my newsletter here and follow me on my Facebook author page here so that you don’t miss any of my upcoming announcements and postings.

May 2022 be a successful and happy year for us all!

Squeeeeeee! I’m going to be teaching again!

The class is Time Management for Writers; and actually, the class is applicable for anyone who struggles with managing their time. The principles and science are the same for everyone, regardless of their career or goal(s) they’re trying to reach.

The class takes place February 1-25, 2022, via email. Registration is located on the WritersUniv.com web. Click here for details.

Anytime I’ve been able to teach anything about writing—whether it’s creative writing or the business of writing, regardless of genre—I’m having a good time.

I enjoy sharing information. I especially enjoy watching the light bulb reactions that my students and participants have when they get it.

I enjoy watching empowerment happen. The expressions of joy I’ve witnessed is inspirational. I always smile watching someone’s confidence rise because they’re mastering a skill they never thought they had or were told they never would have.

I enjoy learning from others. I learn as much from my students and workshop/roundtable participants as they learn from me! I’ve even been corrected from time to time. After all, information is not always static. Improvements and new information are made and found all the time.

I’m even toying with setting up some live Zoom meetings, where I teach creative writing/business writing in two-hour workshops. Maybe even set-up some free Q&A/discussion sessions. There are so many writing topics that could be covered! What do you think?
