🍃NA Mint Julep

Is anyone else feeling hot AF in this summer heat? Cool off with an easy-to-make, refreshing mocktail: a mint julep with my drink, (parentheses), instead of bourbon:

Book Proposal Class Next Week

Wanna write a book someday but have no clue where to start? I got you. I have several classes coming up, but let’s focus on next week’s Book Proposal 101. This course will help you understand what a book proposal is and how to actually enjoy writing one.

Whether you're pitching a nonfiction book or a nonfiction card deck, Book Proposal 101: Stop Dreading It and Start Writing It will help you feel empowered by the proposal process rather than overwhelmed.

OK, you might still feel overwhelmed, but you can totally do this!

Recent Obsession (not an ad; I just really love this product)

I’m obsessed with Acoshia’s Daily Productivity Pad. I often feel overwhelmed or shamed by planners. Overwhelmed because filling those things up feels like a commitment, and I’m already a color-coded Google Calendar girlie who doesn’t want to write things down twice. Shame comes from buying annual planners but only using them sporadically. Then, I beat myself up for leaving dozens of pages unused. So this daily productivity pad is perfect for me. It’s not dated, so there are no “wasted” pages.

I also love that this daily planner makes me think about the top 3 tasks I need to do and maybe, MAYBE, which two tasks I’ll add to my plate. My recovering workaholism initially thought THREE TASKS?? THAT’S IT??? But selecting 3-5 tasks per day has truly been a game changer for me. Again, this is not an ad. I get zero commish if you click the link below.

If you made it this far, thank you. I’m just as obsessed with you as I am with that planner. Here are a few ways to support my work:
