Quarter 4 Is Almost Here: Let’s Revisit Those Writing Goals

I’m thrilled to share that I’ve just enrolled a new group of students in my Make Memoir Magic cohort, and I’m so excited about they’ve decided to invest in themselves and learn how to write, publish, and promote their life stories through memoir. Watching aspiring authors take those brave first steps toward sharing their stories is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do. And as we head into the last quarter of 2024, I want you to know that it’s not too late to make progress on the writing goals you may have set at the beginning of the year.

While it’s unlikely you’ll finish and publish a full book by the end of the year, the good news is that you can absolutely make real progress toward your writing goals. To help you start believing in your writing journey today, I want to share something that can transform your mindset as a writer—5 daily affirmations that will keep you motivated and grounded in your creative process:

5 Daily Affirmations for Writers

  1. "I am a writer with a unique voice and perspective."
    Remember, no one else can tell your story the way you can. Your voice matters, and it deserves to be heard.

  2. "Every word I write brings me closer to my writing goals."
    Celebrate every sentence and every paragraph—each word is a step forward, no matter how small it feels.

  3. "I embrace the process of writing and trust in my creativity."
    Writing is a journey, not a destination. Trust in your creative instincts and let the words flow.

  4. "My stories have the power to inspire and connect with others."
    Your words can touch hearts and lives in ways you may never realize. Never underestimate the impact of sharing your story.

  5. "I am committed to my craft and continue to grow as a writer every day."
    Growth is part of the journey. Every day you sit down to write, you’re becoming a stronger storyteller.

Show Up for Yourself and Your Writing Dreams

Are you ready to start showing up for yourself? When it comes to writing your memoir, it’s not just about putting words on the page—it’s about honoring your dreams, believing in your voice, and committing to your story every single day.
