'Do the smallest thing'. I loved this tip! I don't know what 'my thing' is yet, but I think I have a vague idea of what I would do all day if all my needs were magically fulfilled and I had all the time for myself...

Thank you, Barbs! That's great you have an idea of it. Sometimes people's thing isn't always obvious straightaway. It might be about trying a tiny new thing and seeing how it feels...

“The second one is something called Just Bloody Write.

This newsletter is helping me work out what it is I care about, what I want to write about – and most importantly, what I think would be useful or interesting to you.

It’s made me carve time to write, and made me become a better writer.

Because I know that you and hundreds of other people have given me their email addresses and effectively said, ‘yes, please send me your stuff,’ I have to do it. “

Yes!! This is how I feel about my own substack!!

My 'thing' is also writing. I do call myself a writer now :D cos I am one. But I'd love to call myself an author. Just need to finish my blooming book and then I will feel I can own this title. Even though technically I have been writing a book/s for many years so in theory I'm still an author.

I appreciate your honesty and YES you ARE a writer!

Yes! You are an author because you are writing a book. YES!
