Hi, I'm Zoë, Good To Meet You
ARE YOU STUCK WITH YOUR WRITING? FEEL ALL ALONE? READ ON
You're not on your own - I'm with you all the way on this. And it doesn't seem to matter what stage of the writing journey we're on - motivating and inspiring ourselves to write isn't easy. That's why I created Write, Damn It! to help writers at all stages get unstuck, deal with our writing demons, and get the writing done. You've found your writing tribe, right here.
My novel, an uplit, contemporary bookclub fiction that my agent describes as 'a hopeful hug' is out on submission to commissioning editors for a publishing deal, which is nerve-racking. I'm now writing a standalone sequel. And yes, I'm back on the emotional rollercoaster - after all, I'm waiting for news AND writing the notoriously difficult book 2.
The FREE Mini Reboot is full of the tools that I use to keep me motivated and get my writing done.

My Life As A Writer
In the time I've been writing I must have lived through every possible emotion that a writer feels. I'd love to start with elation ... but let's face it, that one's a long time coming for pretty much all of us, and I didn't really experience much of that until the summer of '22. The reality is I've had writer's block, doubt, negative self-talk, sabotaged my writing, felt like giving up ... crikey, the list goes on and on and on. And I know I'm not alone in this.
I started writing poetry in my 20s, novels in my 30s, kept a blog in my 40s, wrote for a couple of national magazines but it took until I was 58 before I completed a whole novel. I now have an agent, and we are out on submission with my bookclub novel - I'll let you know how it goes.
What is the most important thing to know as a writer?
When I started out writing I thought the most critical thing for me to know was my story idea - and then when I realised my writing needed some work I thought it was crucial for me to learn about how to write, which it was. But possibly the most important thing for me to know was how to keep myself going, and to understand what gets in my way of doing the writing. As a mindset coach, you'd think I would have known that, but it's always easier to help others than to help ourselves. Physician, heal thyself, and all that! So I developed Write, Damn It!, bringing together everything I know about mindset and motivation, to help me get my writing done, and I want to share that with you so that you can type THE END on a work in progress that you'd love to finish, and so that you can finish your edits, and from there, who knows.
