  • During the giving season, you might desire some practical gifts for your writing: A new computer, an ergonomic chair, pretty pens and journals, or that standup desk you've been coveting. But what about the gifts that will help you step into your new year and allow you to feel alive?! You need the gift of time, a retreat, a mentor, a book tour! Don't postpone or be talked out of the extraordinary gifts you desire most. 

    Coach Debby offers a new topic every week on Story U Talk Radio, broadcasted LIVE on KKNW Seattle.

  • Instead of focusing on what didn't get done this year, turn your attention to the writing practices you've started and what you've learned this year. By reflecting, you can be very intentional as you plan the upcoming year. Perhaps you are now more informed of what's required to complete your book. Your writing practice has turned you into a pro! Take notice and keep going!

    For the person who has not recently been engaged in writing, know your book is worthy of your time! 

    To support you every week of the year, I'd like to offer you The Daily Bliss. For a dollar a day, you'll receive an audio recording to download and carry in your pocket for inspiration. You may listen on your phone, iPad, computer, and you don't need to be a writer. However, if you're breaking in a writing practice or new habits for a new year, the Daily Bliss will serve you magnificently well!

    These downloads will set you in sync with the habits that serve you best, and therefore allow you to make writing worthy of your precious time.

    You never have to schedule a zoom call - the Daily Bliss recordings are audios to download on your own time. We will talk about routines, how to get organized, how to deal with criticism, and how to stay solid as you navigate a new year. But most importantly, we will really talk about the inner game of living purposefully.

  • As the days get shorter and cooler, there's more opportunity to be tucked in at home... possibly with your journal. While some writers only rant their way to the bottom of the page, you might find your journal is full of wise gems. Such wisdom lives in your heart. It is in your ability to listen to yourself - to actually take a break from the monkey mind and really listen - where you'll find your wisdom.

    Be careful how much you fill up your time with idle games or doomed info-bites. Give yourself seven days to really honor a clean mind, and notice all the wisdom, that flocks from your heart and creativity. What would it be like to fill a journal full of that? :)

    Follow me each week on KKNW 1150 AM radio in Seattle, Washington for a new topic every Thursday.

  • On the first step in any story following the heroes journey, the main character experiences a sudden loss. it could be a job, a divorce, a friend, a home - some situation has radically changed and there's no going back... The house you loved burned to the ground. The job you held ended with no warning.

    And what if it gets worse? 😲

    On the contrary, what if there is much more happening FOR you then you're able to see in this very moment? 

    What if you turned yourself around 180° and walked in the other direction? What sort of support, insights, and new opportunities await?

    Anytime we are facing a failure, we still have the capacity to be a complete success. Anytime we're stuttering or feeling limited, we still have the capacity to turn it around and gain our fluency. 

    This is all part of the heroes journey. I'm teaching these processes to women and offering some highlights in today's show. Feel free to contact me if you'd like to know more about the heroine - the female version of the hero - who turns her hardest challenges into new stories with conviction!

  • Even the folks who have written many, many books, go through emotional stages while they are drafting a manuscript. Most of them get a coach or a mentor because emotional stages are to be expected and they are 100% normal.

    The question is, do you know which emotional states will pop up and the obstacles you'll have to face? Probably not! But when you work with a mentor, not only are you making a commitment to your book, but you're also receiving guidance for the writing stages and challenges to meet. A mentor will help you move effectively so you can get back to your writing.

    You're never too old to write. It's never too late to begin. You don't need another degree. Your topic isn't "a thing of the past" ... and none of the other ideas that lead to emotional struggle are true either!

    Working with a coach. Will keep you on task. After listening to some of my shows, you'll know if you like my style. I encourage you to request a 30 minute free consultation so we can talk about your book. If it turns out, I can't help you, I probably know someone who can.
