I get hundreds of scams & dodgy requests (the more success I achieve as an author, the more I get).
Usually I just delete them. Not today.
If you know an author, send them some love and kindness. As an industry, authors are being heavily targeted.

How is everyone?
I'm excited but also really tired today.
Book #2 is launching ('YAME') on October 23rd.
With any big goal, it would be very easy to become overwhelmed and burn out.
Now more than ever, I am ensuring I find time to:
π Sit in the sun
π§ββοΈ Meditate
π Read a good book
π΄ Get good sleep
ποΈ Plenty of exercise
Looking after your energy, is linked to looking after your needs.

Nope. Creative writing ideas rarely come when sitting at my computer.
They come when I'm driving, sleeping, meditating, weight lifting, taking a shower, punching a bag, and even when I'm getting my hair done.
I record the ideas in an app, so when I am at my computer, I can add them into my stories.
Can anyone relate?
