You might have heard your brain has two parts to it. But what does that have to do with writing? Why should you add this understanding to your Writer's Toolbox? Why is it the one thing that stops a whole lot of people from even starting a writing project and a whole lot more people from ever finishing anything?

I'll give you a hint - Your brain is super powerful, and knowing how it works on a simplistic level (not a brain surgeon here) will help make writing an easier task when you do pick up a pen or sit down in front of a blank page with your fingers at the ready. Knowing this powerful yet simple thing helped me overcome writing stage fright and get my stories out there. And if I can do it, you can too!

My aim, as always, is to help you;

• Start writing
• Build your confidence in your own writing ability and creative choices
• Keep going  when life happens
• Stay motivated when you're finding it tough
• Avoid getting stuck by knowing what to expect
• Finish your writing!

Why is writing the ultimate adventure of self discovery?
Why is it so important that you know that sometimes the words you've written are not only a part of you but also totally surprising too?
And what exactly do you do once you realise that you aren't the person you let everyone else see? You're much more than you realised? You have thoughts and insights that are unexpected?
What happens when you let someone you know read your heart on a page, and their reaction isn't what you expect? Why you need to be careful about who you share your writing with when your idea is new and delicate like a little baby fawn.

All this and more is discussed in this episode of The Writer's Help Desk in season 1 which is all about giving you the tools to start writing with confidence right here right now - today!

Are you overwhelmed by so many to-dos you don't know where to start? Maybe you've already delved deep into the how-to-write-a [insert type of writing you want to write here] maze. 

I know what it's like when you're searching for answers, a clear, simple path to write a book, a novel, a short story, or maybe even a memoir. The avalanche of information that's out there can get you stuck in the mud! The pressure of knowing what a finished book/novel is meant to look like is enough to make any sensible human want to run and hide under a rock (and that's why most people do). 

Writing can't be simple can it? You need to know XYZ and ABC before you even start, and you have to have...blah blah... yeah, I've heard it all before.

But overthinking anything can lead to total and utter panic, fear, and anxiety and no one who's ever written anything can write very much under those conditions.

So, what do you need to know about writing a novel or a book?

Why is it so important that this topic is number 2 in your Writer's Toolbox? 

I suppose you're going to have to listen to find out...

Writing any story is a journey and one with a goal and many paths to get to your destination. But is your writing a reflection of you? Are the words on the page the story you want to tell? Are you stumped by all the technical must-knows and to-dos that are holding you back from writing or cause you to question your story at every turn? How do you have the self-belief to attempt such a great feat as writing a novel or publishing a book?

How do you do what astronauts do but with words? Find out this and more on the very first episode of The Writer's Help Desk. Upskill yourself. Add another tool or two to your toolbox and learn why you and only you can tell the story that's inside of your head.
