You say you want to write a book—but fear keeps running the show.
Push past comparison, imposter syndrome, and self-doubt and get your words on the page.
Your book deserves to be written, and nobody can write it but you.
It's not that you haven't done it. It's just that you haven't done it yet.
Should you hire a writing coach? Maybe. But before you spend the money, there are a few things I'd want you to think through first.In this video, I talk about when coaching actually makes sense for a writer, and when you're probably better off with a book, course, practice, or simply more time at the keyboard.I'll also share what I'd look for when choosing a writing coach, because anyone can call themselves one.If you're trying to write a book and you're wondering whether coaching could help you move forward, this is for you.Considering coaching?

The writing advice that almost cost me my book
Everyone says real writers "write every day." I believed them...and it almost cost me my book.In this video I break down why that advice, while well-intentioned, can actually work against you if you're trying to write with a full-time job, a family, and a genuinely busy life. I'll walk through the exact system I use instead. Five days a week, real rest built in, and why consistency beats intensity every time.If you want the free framework I use to build this rhythm into my own life, grab the Early Writer's Blueprint below.Early Writer's Blueprint (free): https://early.tcburr.comChapters:0:00 The advice that almost cost me my book0:24 Where all this advice actually comes from0:53 What I'm going to show you today1:01 Why "write every day" sounds right1:37 What happened when I actually tried it2:05 The guilt spiral2:36 What I was missing3:17 Why I started taking weekends off4:19 Consistency beats intensity4:57 My actual weekly rhythm6:07 Optimize for 10 years, not 30 days6:31 Grab the Early Writer's Blueprint (free)7:00 What one reader said after using itGet the writing tools, books, and resources I love:https://books.tcburr.com#writingtips #howtowriteanovel #writingroutine #writersblock #novelwriting #writerscommunity #amwriting #debutnovel #writingadvice #alreadyawriter #productivitytips #writinghabits

Should You Quit Your Novel? 3 Things to Do Before You Decide.
If you're writing a book in a busy, full life and wondering if you should quit, this video will help you decide what to do next. Sometimes the hardest part of writing a novel isn't knowing how to move forward. It's knowing whether you should move forward at all.I recently had this conversation with one of my coaching clients. He had invested a huge amount of time into a complex historical fiction project, but he'd reached a point where he was wondering if he'd taken on more than he could handle.So how do you know whether you're experiencing normal resistance—or whether it's actually time to step away?In this video, I share the three things I encouraged him to do, plus an encouragement that will help, no matter what you decide. Chapters00:00 — Should you quit your book?00:25 — When a big writing project starts to feel impossible01:43 — First: step away from the manuscript03:28 — Second: pray about it04:22 — Third: talk to someone you trust04:48 — You can't make a wrong decision05:40 — Resistance doesn't mean you're not a writer06:05 — If you need help with your writingWhether you stay the course or eventually decide to write something else, the work you've already done isn't wasted.If you're trying to write a book while also holding down a job, raising a family, and living a full life, I hope this helps you take a little of the pressure off.If you'd like someone to come alongside you as you work through your story, your writing process, or the decisions that come with writing a book, you can learn more about working with me here:https://forms.gle/pJn6ydh9zpA8DUNd8Keep writing.#WritingCommunity #WritingAdvice #WritingAbook
