Hi ladies,

How are you doing on your August challenge?

Did you write 5 days a week x 3 weeks so far for 30 minutes?

Did you work without external distractions?

This week, you will get to practice avoiding some of your internal distractors. Please let me know how you do?

If you respond and give me a sense of how you did on the challenge, I will send you a free ebook.

Take care of yourself, and drop me a message under this thread. Just double on the comment tab.

I admit I did poorly. Instead of setting aside the time to write, I hit it on one swoop Saturday night.
I plan to give it a better shot this week!

Hi Caren,

GREAT job for writing a lot on Saturday! GREAT job!!!

I will try and help you writing consistently. Possibly joining sprints would help, if you can. I know you have a lot going one. So, let me know when you are ready, and I will meet with you and set up a plan/schedule for your writing.

Take care,
Irene

I had some victories and some hiccups. I had a bit of writer's block so I did other things aside-like writing blogs and book reviews. This week I started off strong and worked on my WIP =)

Hi Liza!!

I'm SO SO sorry you had writer's block. Most times, writing every day can help alleviate writer's block.

Great job for writing other things. That is definitely one way to overcome writer's block. So, GREAT!!!!

Let's talk about strategies to avoid writer's block during our coaching session coming up.

In the meantime, I will spend September discussing how to alleviate writer's block in our lessons. So, stay tuned.

Take care, and talk to you soon!

I too struggled with writers block the last few weeks and felt cooped up inside. I've made walking in the park higher priority again, The delicate balances needed in life are so important. Simply reconnecting with nature stirs up so much inside of me. When I am enjoying nature and giving myself more permission to enjoy life, my imagination is reinvigorated again!

Hi Lauren!

I'm so sorry you struggled with writer's block last week. That's hard.

A few people in our mentoring group are struggling with similar issues. So, my lessons for September will focus on tips to alleviate writer's block. I will post the first lesson later today.

Take care, and have a productive week! Try to make the daily sprints. That can always help.
