what I've seen recently
Hey Writers! I had a request that I feel many of you will be able to relate to. “Do you have any advice on how to find that writing time daily for my own work when I am tired from writing other's work.” What can we do when we’re struggling to make time for ourselves after a day of writing/working for others? How can we deal with feelings of discouragement when we’re not advancing in our own writing? There may even be a sense that your inspiration has been ‘hijacked’! Join me in my Facebook group (link in bio) for tips and support to ensure you’re tending to your own needs and dreams. 🌱 Gabriela x #WriteNoMatterWhat Performance Coaching for Writers and practitioners!

Whenever we want to start something new, it can seem impossible to come up with the right voice, and this often leads to a project that never gets started at all. But today I want to share the secret to finding your voice in writing. Come find me on Facebook for the full video!
