Fast, slow, or just right?

Fasten your seatbelt, Reader, we're going to talk about pacing!

Pacing is, perhaps, one of the trickiest issues that I deal with as a writing coach. Not pacing within the written piece, but of the writing itself in the writer's life.

Some writers start on a hot streak and run out of steam. Others cannot seem to get themselves fully engaged in the work at the outset and set out at a snail's pace.

The right pace makes all the difference.

You, dear writer, are the only one who can figure out your healthy, sustainable pace. I can make suggestions, but you're the expert.

But never fear, I have a few rules that might help you. Five, in fact. Find them in this week's post.

July book give-away: The Art of Pacing

Talk about alignment! This month I'm giving away a copy of the brand new book The Art of Pacing by Elizabeth Svoboda. Although it's not specifically about writing, much of it applies.

Also, this might be the perfect book to take on a long vacation. (There's a whole chapter on long vacations.)

To enter the drawing, reply by Sunday, July 19 and let me know if you think you have a handle on the pacing of your life (writing or otherwise).

Two ways to work with me on a workbook

If you're interested in creating a workbook? I'm a big believer in them. Here are two ways I can support you.

1. Attend the free session (webinar + detailed handout) on creating workbooks as part of the upcoming Expand Summit. It happens on Thursday, July 23 at 8am PT, 11am ET. You can register for the summit and attend this session (and all of the others) free, or pay to access the recordings later.
2. Sign up for the September cohort of the Workbook Workshop. This is a deeper dive with personalized support and guidance in a small coaching group. Learn more here. Spaces are limited.

If you know anyone else who might be interested in creating a workbook, forward this on to them. Thanks!

That's all for now. May you find your ideal July pace this month!

Need help on a nonfiction book idea or book proposal? That's what I do when I'm not writing books or this newsletter! If you're ready to take the next step, book a time to talk about your project and how I can help.
