The one thing we’ve got

Hey Reader, What are you even doing here? ^^ I ask myself this all the time when I find myself procrastinating or hiding or otherwise not using my voice. What am I even doing here? If you’re not using your voice, what are you even doing here? It’s the one thing we all have. Some of us are listened to more than others, granted; but we all have a voice. What we choose to do with it, is up to us. Are you using it to make connections? To make people feel seen? To feel seen yourself? To speak up about what matters to you? To make people laugh or cry or feel something? To make a difference? To make money? Here are some more questions for you to ponder. What do you want? Out of life, your business, your hobbies… What do you wish was different about your work, or the world? Put a pin in the stuff you have no control over; there’s no point stressing about it. But the other stuff: what can you do about it? Are you doing anything about it? If not, why not? What’s stopping you? Write those things down. Are they true? Really? Okay: now what could you do first? What’s the tiniest, smallest, least horrifying thing you can start with? No, not that. That’s too big. Go smaller. Yes. Try that, instead. Let me know how you get on. Or, if that’s proving tricky, let me help. Let’s take a look at your brain, then I’ll poke it every day for 30 days, and you’ll write something wonderful every day for 30 days, and you’ll have the start of a sustainable writing practice, and you’ll be using your voice and how awesome will that be? Private bullshit-busting and writing coaching for a whole month for just £499 + VAT. With a payment plan available! What could you achieve with a little help from your friends? ​Find out here.​ TTFN, Vicky p.s. If you like this newsletter and want to support it, you can:

Hey Reader, I’m thinking of starting a club called The Bad Art Club. What do you reckon? Would you join? Mostly a rhetorical question, so you don’t have to answer unless you really want to. In the Creative Playground this morning we were talking about weekend plans and one of mine is to paint something. I dragged my watercolours out last weekend and stared at them for a while. Then, yesterday, I painted a birthday card for a friend. It’s not terribly good, but it is silly, and I enjoyed...
Hey Reader, Most people don’t want to write. They want to have written something. And I get that. I want to be able to do the splits… But I don’t want to actually stretch and train it… because training is hard work and it’s frustrating seeing my legs at a right angle when my friend over there is fanny-to-the-floor Splitty McSplit Face and rightfully smug about it. The question then becomes: how much do I want to be able to do the splits? What am I willing to endure to get there? And how can I...
Hey Reader, You don’t need “the muse”. You need a consistent writing practice. One may appear just at the right moment for you, like the capricious and unreliable floozy it is, but the other means you’ll create your own inspiration, every single day, no matter what that unreliable floozy may be up to. So: let’s create that consistent writing practice, shall we? Write Every Damn Day on Easy Mode is available all throughout May, and by the time we’re done — after 30 days — you’ll have not only...
