You are Many Characters - Which one is Writing Your Story?

 As you set out to write your personal blog, speech, article, or even a book, It's important to ground yourself in your present character so you can objectively look to your history and share it without reliving the past. Some emotions may come up - and that's quite natural - but you are no longer that character of your past. Today's show will help you see the contrast between who you are today - intelligent, successful, articulate - and the character you once identified as, whether you were a rebel, an explorer, a wander, a maiden, an artist, or any other type.Coach Debby offers classes for all levels of writers. Follow her weekly newsletter: https://coachdebby.us17.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=b4e0e4813c2d5d7bc3e03507b&id=5b97bac13fCatch her on Youtubehttps://youtube.com/@coachdebby564?si=vV8SftGrYyBLhsxiFollow the podcast, recorded live at KKNW in Seattle every Thursday.https://1150kknw.com/podcasts/story-u-talk-radiowith-coach-debby/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Creative Writing Skills for Your Blog, Speech, or Micro Story

You don't need to major in creative writing to begin a blog or write an excellent speech. However, you will want to add story of people and situations to make clear and effective points.New writers sometimes stick with concepts they know and use their blog to teach or simply to share.

No-rush New Year Goals

There really is something fun and magical about turning the calendar page to a brand new year - 365 beautiful days in front of you to create on a shiny new canvas. At every moment and every crossroad, we are choosing what we want to see on our canvas - we are literally designing life! If you're anything like me, you might confuse the excitement of a new year with rushing full speed ahead. And this is how we make the new year look a lot like the last year.Perhaps this is the year that you will write your book or offer your TedX speech. Who says you need to rush into it? Planning and organizing is an important step. Drafting requires intention. And editing only works when you can take a short breather between drafts. Rushing is never required. Feeling excited - now that's a great place to be - But rushing could send you into tailspin. I suggest working with a coach and getting focused. Learn to work thoughtfully with time.

Where Do We Get Our Wisdom?

As the days get shorter and cooler, there's more opportunity to be tucked in at home... possibly with your journal. While some writers only rant their way to the bottom of the page, you might find your journal is full of wise gems. Such wisdom lives in your heart. It is in your ability to listen to yourself - to actually take a break from the monkey mind and really listen - where you'll find your wisdom.Be careful how much you fill up your time with idle games or doomed info-bites. Give yourself seven days to really honor a clean mind, and notice all the wisdom, that flocks from your heart and creativity. What would it be like to fill a journal full of that? :)Follow me each week on KKNW 1150 AM radio in Seattle, Washington for a new topic every Thursday.

Telling Your New Story With Conviction

On the first step in any story following the heroes journey, the main character experiences a sudden loss. it could be a job, a divorce, a friend, a home - some situation has radically changed and there's no going back... The house you loved burned to the ground. The job you held ended with no warning.And what if it gets worse? 😲On the contrary, what if there is much more happening FOR you then you're able to see in this very moment? What if you turned yourself around 180° and walked in the other direction? What sort of support, insights, and new opportunities await?Anytime we are facing a failure, we still have the capacity to be a complete success. Anytime we're stuttering or feeling limited, we still have the capacity to turn it around and gain our fluency. This is all part of the heroes journey. I'm teaching these processes to women and offering some highlights in today's show.

The Emotional Stages of all Good Writers

Even the folks who have written many, many books, go through emotional stages while they are drafting a manuscript. Most of them get a coach or a mentor because emotional stages are to be expected and they are 100% normal.The question is, do you know which emotional states will pop up and the obstacles you'll have to face? Probably not! But when you work with a mentor, not only are you making a commitment to your book, but you're also receiving guidance for the writing stages and challenges to meet. A mentor will help you move effectively so you can get back to your writing.You're never too old to write. It's never too late to begin. You don't need another degree. Your topic isn't "a thing of the past" ... and none of the other ideas that lead to emotional struggle are true either!Working with a coach. Will keep you on task. After listening to some of my shows, you'll know if you like my style. I encourage you to request a 30 minute free consultation so we can talk about your book.

Creating Effective Boundaries

Have you fallen behind on your writing? Is anyone standing over you with a deadline? You might think it’s not your fault. You were doing something else that was very important. Most of us are willing to check off lists of tasks before we will prioritize our call to write a book. It’s “the thing” that gets moved to tomorrow again and again. When you attend to your thoughts and feelings about your writing, you will likely see that new boundaries are necessary. Even if you didn’t know it’s normal to have anxious thoughts, establishing boundaries will help you create far more balance and satisfaction as a writer.To learn about Coach Debby’s offerings, go to https://coachdebby.comFeel free to request a 20-30 minute consultation if you are seeking mentoring with your book, blog, or brand.Connectcoachdebby.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
