  • February 29th – Leap Year Day

    This is a very special day. Only comes around once every four years, so there’s a mere 25% chance that the year you are reading this will contain a February 29th, which also means there’s a 75% chance that seeing this is a little bonus. (We flip the script, remember?) These days are a special…

  • Rest, Reflect, Reset, Reason. 

    Rest, Reflect, Reset, Reason.  I have never been one for New Years’ resolutions. I have written and spoken about this many times. The calendar is a man-made construct and setting ourselves new and often difficult challenges to navigate at what is already one of the most challenging times of the year is a recipe for…

  • If today is a bad day…

    …it’s just a day. It isn’t your story. It isn’t even a chapter or a page or a paragraph. It’s barely a sentence and you will have the opportunity to write many more, much better sentences. …there is always tomorrow. Once today is done, you never have to do today again. …what can you learn…

  • Good enough is good enough.

    Good enough is good enough.

    Sometimes, we are so busy searching for perfection that we blindly walk past “that’ll do” or “good enough” and that’s a shame. Perfection is overrated and is one of the biggest factors of procrastination. I am a life-long procrastinator and so often, I don’t start a project because I know it isn’t going to turn…

  • Resetting – what to do when it feels like you’re failing

    You ever have those days when everything feels too much? When it feels like every way you turn, you are faced with a brick wall? When it feels like you are the only person in the world going through this? You must be, because everyone else is doing just fine, right? Wrong. We all get…

  • Just Ten Minutes

    “I’d love to write a book, but I just don’t have the time.”   I’ve heard this so many times and I am sure that for some people, it is absolutely the case that they don’t have sufficient spare time to allocate enough to write a book. However, I think for most of us we…

  • New Range of Journals and Self-Help Guided Notebooks

    I am a big fan of writing. I know this will sound like a strange thing to say given the nature of my business, but let me explain. There is something very special about the act of writing things down. You can have all the digital lists, apps, trackers and memory aids you like, but…

  • Start From Where You Are.

    Start from where you are. Seems like such simple advice, doesn’t it? Yet as humans, this is a concept we often struggle with. The main reason for this, is our brains have incredible powers of recall and as such we are often stuck on where we have been and what we could have done differently.…

  • Things To Remember Between Finishing and Publishing Your Book

    So, your book is finally written. Congratulations! Those long hours of plot twists and character development have paid off and your book will soon be published. All you have to do now is sit back and wait for publication day, yeah? Not quite…read on to find out some things to remember between finishing and publishing…

  • Five Things To Consider Before You Write Your First Book

    There is a common school of thought that says everyone has at least one book in them. If this is true, then I think writers like Marian Keyes and Stephen King are massively overachieving and the rest of us have some serious catching up to do! So you have this brilliant idea for a book; it…
