Skill with Self-trust is Magic

By using the secrets of literary craft with self-trust, you become the writer you’re meant to be.

But it’s a steep learning curve, and self-doubt is totally understandable.

So we endlessly tweak our writing, unsure if we’re making it better or worse.

We look for answers in craft books but never apply what we learn.

We put off making time and space to get the words on the page.

Or we get overwhelmed by the next draft.

I can help.

“George will open you to parts of your own abilities you didn't know were there.”

— P.E. Holdsworth.

“Working with George over the last few months has completely changed the way I write -she's amazing!”

— Sophie Flynn, Author of All My Lies (Simon and Schuster, 2021).

We were discussing in cowriting yesterday a method for shifting approach when self-doubt and fear, the anticipation of judgement (all those fun things) mar our ability to write.
This is the shift:
Ask not what your story can do for you or the world.

What shoulds or should-nots do you want to leave behind you?

We had an inspiring discussion after cowriting once, about surrendering to what you REALLY want to write or create rather than what you feel you SHOULD.
This was sparked by one of the aut
