my summer writing goals {gulp}

The fact that my company is called Writing Brave means… I have to do things that are brave.

GULP.

A coach I once knew (Kara Lowentheil) calls this Barf Club. She says, if you don’t want to puke on a weekly basis as an entrepreneur, you probably aren’t playing big enough.

Here are a few things I’ve done recently that made me want to puke: 

• Made a few legal changes to my business that I did NOT feel like doing at all 🤮

• Cold-emailed a writer I really admire 🤮

• Pitched the agent of a pro athlete an interview request 🤮

So, here goes… my summer writing goals… (drumroll please)...

I’m finishing my current book this summer.

And then I’m querying agents.

Doesn’t sound that exciting when I type it out.

But I still want to puke. Lol!

I haven’t queried in a long time. (Since 2018, when I got rejected by 125 agents!)

A project like this reminds me of what I want, and that I can’t control the outcome here.

I can do my best.

But I can’t make an agent say yes.

I can’t make a publisher offer me a deal.

If you want to get clear on what you want to create this summer with your writing, come join me for the free Summer of Writing virtual party.

We’re going to: 

🌴Imagine beautiful moments you want to experience this summer

🌴Access the spirit of your book 

🌴Explore whether this year’s Summer of Writing is the right fit for you

Just a note that this year’s Summer of Writing is a completely different offer than last year, and the basic tier starts at half the price as last year’s (with two payments of $47).

But I’ll tell you ALL about it at the party!

See you there.

There will be a replay.
