Writer's Life: To Be Or Not To Be (A Full-Time Author) Part 2: Listen To Your Heart
Yesterday, in the first part of this article, I shared some interesting resources that mapped the ongoing discussion about whether it makes sense to be a full-time author.
There seem to be three main opinions on this:
1. Being a full-time author produces too much stress and pressure and can take a toll on your creativity. You're better off with a secure job, treating writing as a hobby only.
2. Being a full-time author is a wonderful life, and anyone can do it, if you really want it and are...

Book Review: Sacred Ground & Holy Water – One Man's Adventures in the Wild by Lyn Fuchs
Listen to my interview with Lyn on Chique Show

Chique Writer's Life: Should Success Be Easy?
Every Monday I share with you tips and thoughts
on expanding your creativity
and finding joy in your Chique Writer's Life.
Let's be bold, brilliant and fearless together!
Okay, I admit, I have a personal pet peeve when it comes to many motivational speakers, ministers, coaches, New Age gurus and Law of Attraction experts. In their books, seminars and speeches, they try to tell you that if it's meant to be, it must be easy. That if it's your purpose, it must be smooth, comfortable, fun and...
