One of my favourite things to do is write. And one of my life goals is to become a writer.

I have wanted to write books for a long time. I have a stack of notes, currently accumulating on my office desk. I can make time for it. I just have to stop making excuses or putting other things first.

So one of my goals for 2021 is to make writing a book a priority.

Do you also desire to write a novel, a self-help book or even an autobiography?

Well, these are some of the things I have done to get in the groove for writing;

• Writing novels - Writing a novel alone can be difficult, even for seasoned writers. NaNoWriMo helps you track your progress, set milestones, connect with other writers in a vast community, and participate in events that are designed to make sure you finish your novel. Oh, and best of all, it’s free!

• Writing courses - Cassie Mendoza offers a writing course - Love What You Create: Book Writing Course. Sydney based but she also offers the course online. I did this course in March and it was mind-blowing. Cassie is super inspiring and incredible to work with. It was a great place to start mapping out my book.

• Writers Workshop - Each year Hay House hosts a Writers Workshop. It is usually at a venue. This years and next years is a virtual workshop online. The next one is to be held on the 27-28th March 2021.

• Writing consistently - 750 words is a way to get into the habit of writing. It's about learning a new habit: Writing. Every. Day.

• Editing - Subscribed to Grammarly Premium which corrects my grammar, and any errors in my writing. It is worth every dollar and has really helped me improve my writing

• Also, check out my Pinterest page with a heap of ideas for writing a book
