As I write this it’s February, it can be a bleak month, with the post-holiday slump and colder weather hitting many parts of the world. I’m in Scotland and it’s certainly chilly and very Bbbrreeezy!  It was so windy the other night I thought I might wake up in Oz, or Kansas!

Post New Year Resolutions and well-meaning intentions, February can be a great opportunity to invest in you, your hopes and dreams.

Investing doesn’t need to be money.  It could be time for you to do the things you love, it could be making space, physically or mentally, for things that make your heart sing.

For me that usually includes books, reading them and writing them!  Over in The Write Life Membership, (more about this at the end of the blog), we had a challenge to write something that included the word, Bibliophile.

Here’s what I wrote:

I love having fun with words and investing in my writing. There are lots of ways for you to invest in yourself. A winter getaway, a spa day, or simply staying home and chilling, reading a good book, or writing a poem, are all great options.  If writing is something you want to do I have two things that may help.

The Write Life Membership

• A Facebook Membership Group, filled with prompts, guides and inspiration. A space to share your writing and get support. Updated regularly to keep you motivated.
• A weekly ‘Write With Me’ session on zoom, where we all work at the same time on our own writing.  Great for accountability and not feeling so alone.  Times and days will vary to allow different people to attend.
• A Monthly Writing Workshop on Zoom with other writers, learn something new with time to practice and share.

The founding member price is just £5 per month and if you join at that price you stay at that price.

So, you Want to be a Writer!

I’d always wanted to write, yet it took being 50, a widow and a global pandemic to get me to take the leap and see myself as a real writer.

I’ve published 3 books, I write blogs, and poems, and writing is a huge part of my life.

If that’s what you want, why not start by joining my course “So, You Want to be a Writer!”

Every Friday 10:30-12, starting 3^rd March, on Zoom.

I will help you see yourself as a writer. 

It doesn’t matter if you are a complete beginner or if you have already started to write.

This course will enable you to get writing and help you overcome those blocks you may have!

So, whatever it is for you make sure that you invest in YOU!  If you need a break, don’t hesitate to take it. You’ve earned it!  If you want time to read a good book, do it, you’ll be glad you did. If you want to start a new hobby or do something new, do it!  Because, and I write this flicking my hair, YOU’RE WORTH IT!
