A 7 Minute Writing Exercise to Kickstart Your Book

Becoming an author requires that you know, deep down, that you're a writer. That you claim that title. And there's no better way to claim it than to be writing.

I want you writing on the daily. And in this video I'm telling you all about my number one, most favorite writing exercise. My hope is that it will kickstart your writing . . . and kickstart your book, in the process.

If you've ever asked yourself these questions

—How much writing should I do on a daily basis?
—How do I fit writing in my busy life?
—What is blank page paralysis and how do I overcome it?

Then this video is for you!

So grab a cup of tea or joe, download my instructions, and join me for a zero-anxiety, free-flowing writing exercise!

Those journals might be great but the shipping is OUCH!

I was listening to this as I was folding the laundry. I often listen to you while I do chores. I had written off today as a no writing day as I am so busy. But I was encouraged by your thoughts and just sat down and hand wrote an A4 page about when I was young I wanted to be a writer and all the things I have done towards that goal. I thought of negative things about all the time writing I have not finished and how long it is taking me to write my book but I didn't write any of it. I just wrote the things I have done and what I am doing now. Thank you. I'm a writer today! I commit to carry on with my book.

This is very useful and helpful for me. I've been neglecting my writing during the pandemic. This year I'm committing to writing again. So glad I came to this video. It's like the Universe knows what I need and brings me the tools to get started. So, yes, definitely a great practice to get in the groove of writing again. Thank you for posting this video. Blessings. :-)

'Proprioceptive experience.' I had to look that one up. Which means that I've added a new word to my vocabulary. Which means that I'm already getting smarter. Which means that -hey, you're pretty good at this!

Now this is an exercise I can get behind because I have 7 minutes every day! Of course, I went way over that time, but I loved it. I don't normally write by hand, but I used my favourite fountain pen, Lamy with a medium nib, and it flowed and flowed. What I love about these writing prompts is they totally fit for writing a memoir. I wrote something that is definitely going in mine. Thank you!

I wish I could make it to your Kripalu event this weekend, but unfortunately I can't so I'll be binge watching your YouTube videos instead. 💃💃💃

Bless you, Kelly! I followed your prompt "What I can't write about". Brilliant suggestion to start over with the same one! I broke through layers of resistance and into my heart space where the real words live! Hoping to publish with kn literary when I'm ready! 💖

[clearfield]

Yes. Have been without a favorite pen for ages. It has broken me 🤣🤣🤣
