Process: Becoming a Global Blogger

When I started my first blog at about age 12, I was so excited to have my friends read me. I'm 26 now and I'm a global blogger.
Some time in the last year I began to have a host of international visitors regularly come to my site. Think hundreds a week.
It didn't involve me spending any money. It didn't involve advertising or anything shady.
I have a few secrets up my sleeve which you can find out about on my talk next week on How to Be a Global Blogger.
But I wanted to talk a little bit about th...

Sofia Wren's Journal: Reveal Moon the Story of My Life in 7 Facts

Recently I was told how mysterious I can be so here's my life in 7 facts.
1. I learned Italian and English at the same time. It was the beginning of my life between the worlds and love for language. When I was three I started to lose Italian after my mother passed away so as a child I studied it outside of school until college so I could talk to my grandma.  When not in Italy, I enjoy translating the Sopranos and confusing my boyfriend because he can't understand me. 
At 22,...

Process: What is Sacred Writing?

This week I was interviewed as an expert on the topic of Sacred Writing: From Inner Critic to Spiritual Muse. Big thanks to Shamia Casiano for the invitation.
Her first question was "What is Sacred Writing?"
It's an idea I have been playing with for some time, but only recently have I been able to put it into words. I'm not talking about hieroglyphics or runes or any of those scripts.
What I'm talking about is something I've been looking for a long time. Since middle school I have been fasc...

Special Event: FREE Short Story! Sofia Wren releases Taylor's Nest

Horray!!!

I'm celebrating the confidence to release this beautiful short story I've loved for years but which I was too afraid to release before.

I hoped to find a magazine to publish it, but it's a wee thing, only 2 pages.

Lately, I've been thinking the real problem is that I didn't think people would accept this story about the lovely Taylor.

I mentioned this a little bit yesterday in my movie about 4 steps to confidently declare yourself a writer.

Truth is, it's a romantic piece about a lady, a...

Process: 4 Steps to Confidently Call Yourself a Writer

I'd like to talk about the latest hurdle for me: Owning the 'W' Word.



For some reason it's hard to call myself a writer, even though I have filled thousands of pages with my slanty writing. 
My work is all over the place at my house. I do it every day as I have consistently for about four years. That's not even counting all my blogging, which began over ten years ago.
I consider myself a writer, but when it comes to talking about it with other people, I often feel I need to prove something....

Sofia Wren's Journal: Birthday New Moon

When I started writing this post, I will admit...I got a little down.
There is something about birthdays that haven't quite hooked me. Maybe it's the summer season--when other people were in school with their friends, I usually was off on Martha's Vineyard. 
This small unique island is my birth place and the home of many in my wonderful quirky family.
I just returned from a lovely trip there, but I have to admit coming back is a bit of a wavering point before my birthday.

Process: Celebrating Yourself

"Take some time to celebrate yourself!"
In the hustle and bustle of our ever growing todo list, stopping to appreciate ourselves may be the last thing any of us think to do.
Recently my marketing coach, the mermaid Kris Oster, told me to take a breather to celebrate myself before composing the sales page for my new Align Your Inner Compass Day. (see below)
I pondered how far I had come since we first spoke in January and the various leaps I had made. 
Since then I've found my tal...
