“Start before you're ready." — Steven Pressfield

Too often, we wait for the perfect moment to start writing—that magical day when inspiration will strike, our schedules will clear, and we’ll finally feel “ready.”

But you know and I know that day will never come.

It’s just a scam to get in the way of you writing your book.

Writing is messy and imperfect, and often starts with a single scribbled line or a half-formed idea.

But every messy word gets us closer to the story we’re meant to tell. So grab your notebook, laptop, or even the back of an envelope— and join us for the Heart Leap writing hour today at 9am.

Journal Prompt:

Write about something you've been putting off because you didn’t feel “ready.” What small step could you take today to get started?

Join our Heart Leap Writing ‘Happy Hours’! Every Tuesday and Thursday, 9-10am, I host a focused, friendly Zoom session where writers can work on their projects with support, tips, and a virtual coffee. Bring your ideas, your words, and your determination to finally finish that book.
