It's All About The Mindset
So, if you've been following me online on sites like instagram as @LucyVHayAuthor, you'll know I hit a WALL recently in my writing. I don't know what it is: I am just finding it REALLY hard going to get my latest book finished. Which is odd, because I LOVE this story ... or maybe I love it so much, that's why I don't want to finish?? Eeek!
But writer mindset is SO powerful, which is why I've dedicated this B2W newsletter to it. First off, we have some links about various realisations we can make BEFORE we start writing, then some more on everything from managing our expectations, through to coping with non writers who just don't understand THE STRUGGLE. Enjoy!
