    About this series

    I know what you’re feeling right now…

    Chances are good, if you clicked on this title, you’re confused, frustrated, overwhelmed… maybe even angry.

    Not because I know something about you personally. Not because I’m spying on you, or I’ve re-programmed your Alexa or Siri to dictate your conversations to me and keep them on my hard drive. No. I know what you’re feeling, because it’s the same thing we’re all feeling right now.

    How do I know this?

    Because I have coached thousands of writers. Six- and seven-figure authors, major award winners, midlisters, and new authors alike. And there are patterns to what writers think and feel about our careers and our books. Those patterns are why I’m here, writing to you.

    If you are overwhelmed, tired, frustrated with your career or your sales… if you’re stuck or stalled… come and join me inside these pages, and we’ll talk about why.

    Why is key.

    We’ve got this. It’s tackle-able. Let’s get you out of this pit.

      I know what you're thinking... You're thinking, "But, Becca... I don't want to quit writing." *nods* I don't want you to quit writing, dear writer. But there are a lot of things that you do need to quit doing, when it comes to both your writing career and the writing process.  How do I know this? Because I have coached thousands of writers. Six- and seven-figure authors, major award winners, midlisters, and new authors alike. And there are patterns to what writers need to quit, what we need to keep, and what we need to question. Those patterns are why I'm here, writing to you. Anyone can tell you what worked for them, and of course they can say, "it might not work for you," but they can't tell you why. Come and join me, and I'll tell you why.  - Becca
