    Top Tips From The Write Coach

    ✍️ You are your brand.

    ✍️ You must be passionate about your brand.

  • #1206: Do the “What If’s” keep you from writing?
    Oct 22 2020
    Top Tips From The Write Coach

    ✍️ Writing helps you face your fears.

    ✍️ God uses turning points to change you.

    ✍️  Use your experiences to make an impact on others. 


    Do the "What If's" keep you from writing?

    Living a life of survival kept Sylvia from writing until she almost died. Listen as Sylvia discuss how she uses her experiences to help people.


    Sylvia had a massive clot threatening her liver and life. Six doctors walked into her room, giving the news she faced a liver transplant or medications with risks of death. She heard, Surrender to God, and now she lives a life of significance, not survival because she listened to His voice.


    How does writing eradicate fear?


    Sylvia and Joyce share how God comes in and interrupts your certainty seeker patterns of behavior and shows you how His interruptions are for your good, to develop character and create a stronger spirit.


    Join us as they discuss how the writing process helps transform the writer and face your fears, not only writing fears but fears holding you back from growing as a person.
