Book Report: July

Book Report: July

This month was for finishing all the books I started, but then put to the side because of moving, VBS, life, and summer.

The bright, fun illustrations, and the fact that Oliver was a… Read More

In our latest episode, we dive into the real struggles of transitioning from part-time to full-time writing. It’s not just about the words on the page; it’s about the daily habits and mindset shifts that lead to success.

We discuss the importance of keeping a writer’s log to track progress and hold ourselves accountable. It’s a game-changer! 

Writing is more than just a passion; it’s a commitment to our goals. And sometimes, that means adjusting expectations and embracing the unique path we’re on. 

What’s your biggest challenge in your writing journey? Let’s chat about it!

Do you really want to know which genre I write (the answer is, yes…) or what the book is about (it’s about people doing things and there’s probably kissing at some point) Also, it should be a crime to run out of coffee, and remind me again why we have to be on social media?

Is it just about getting published or making money? Or is there a deeper reason fueling your fire?

Drop a 🔥 if you’re still working on clarifying your why—trust us, it makes all the difference in staying motivated.

We’ve spent years chasing publication, but it wasn’t until we remembered our true purpose—creating stories that inspire and uplift—that our passions reignited. Knowing why we write helps us push through the frustrations and keep going, even when it’s hard (because, y’all—writing is hard).

Your why isn’t just a line in your bio; it’s the fire that keeps you writing through the setbacks and self-doubt. So, what’s yours? Share below, we want to hear it!
