I've always written books AND worked at the same time – it is no easy feat. However, I've tested out so many theories, tools, and techniques that I've gone from needing years to write a book to being able to finish a first draft in a week – crazy, I know! As a recovering perfectionist AND procrastinator, I had to create a process that pushed me over the finish line. Passion and inspiration were not enough! Now, I get to write my own fiction and nonfiction stories, as well as help aspiring authors, entrepreneurs, and businesses produce great stories as well. While I'm thrilled that I earn income from writing, I am most excited about the impact of storytelling. After almost 20 years of writing, consulting, promoting, and publishing seven books, I still can’t get enough of telling great stories. I am on a mission to change the world, one word at a time. There is no way I'm leaving this earth with my stories untold. I won’t let you do that either. Every tip, tool, and technique I recommend is based on my experience. I’ve either implemented it in helping my clients write better or in writing my own books. Now you get access to all of these same tried-and-true resources. Ready to finally finish your book?
