Ready for some tips for writing your first draft and finally getting it done??

Writing is definitely a ton of fun, but it can be difficult, too! And sometimes you don’t even know why.

When you’re writing your first draft, it can be easy to beat yourself up for not writing more, get confused about all the technical aspects of the writing process, or get so bogged down in the details of the story that you forget to tell it.

If any of this sounds familiar, THIS VIDEO IS FOR YOU.

Have you ever called yourself an “aspiring” writer?

We’ve all been there. Thinking that until we have a book published, or edited, or drafted, or _________, we can’t call ourselves a “writer (period).” We think we are “aspiring” to a lofty title, a far-off goal that may or may not even be clear in our heads. We think that “aspiring” tells people we’re humble. And, deep down, we think “aspiring” means we’re off the hook.

Ouch.

Last year, way back before my first book launch (was that just last year??), I wrote a guest post on Shayla Raquel’s blog all about Instagram. I talked about how authors can use Instagram to market themselves before they even have a book out.

I’d heard a lot about “building your platform,” but no one seemed to have good, practical advice. And the advice I could find led me to believe that I had to take pictures of me holding my book and fill my Instagram feed with it. What else would a writer talk about, right?

WRONG. Writers have so much more to say!

But Instagram kept coming up on my radar. So, naturally, I wanted to dive in and learn all I could.

So I did.
