My Journey From Dreaming Writer to Published Author

I have really big dreams.

I want to add #1 NYT Bestselling Author to the end of my name. I want to walk in to a Barnes and Noble and find my books on the shelf. I want the honor of writing someone’s favorite book, of taking their breath away, of making them think about the world differently, of making them shed a few (happy!) tears.

I also have really big coffee mugs.

My favorite spot is a comfy chair in a coffee shop, hyped up on the smell of fresh coffee beans as I write my what I hope will someday be a published, bestselling novel.

I love to read stories, and I love to write stories. And I think coffee makes both of those things even better. I love the extra kick a bold cup of Joe gives to writing or reading. I love the comfort you can find in the bottom of your favorite mug.

I want to help other writers (maybe like you!) realize their dreams, and then show you how you can turn those big dreams into reality. Positivity is contagious, and I want to help fuel your goals! (Figuratively, not literally. Despite what I say, I am not coffee. I am a person and I use positivity, not caffeine, to fuel people)

Together, we can live out our wildest book dreams. I don’t have all the answers, but I am figuring some things out. Together we can build a community of love and motivation.

I’m not going to lie, this is part of the scary “platform-building” that authors are told to do. But I’m not worried about coming off as fake or this just being another bullet point on my to-do list, because I am GENUINELY interested in helping YOU (whoever you may be)

So here are some things that you can find on my posts:

• How to make more time to write
• How to write not just more productively, but more joyfully
• How to nurture your creativity
• How to accomplish your writing goals
• What my writing process looks like
• What I’m learning along the way
• Books
• Coffee

Sound good? I plan on posting twice a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, so stay tuned!

This is just the beginning of the blog, but I hope that great things come out of it. This is my journey from dreaming writer to published author, and I want to invite you to follow along with me.
