Welcome to the weekend, Inklings!

A big thank you to

Sanjida Kay
, who hosted our discussion about confidence earlier this week.

We discussed:

  • why building confidence is all about action

  • what to do if you feel utterly panicked

  • ways to be more confident in writerly social situations—from readings, to book launches to panel events. Tips, hacks, suggestions and how to reframe the situation

  • how to feel more confident in your writing ability

  • the reasons why being creative can sometimes feel uncomfortable

  • why self-doubt is actually a good, necessary thing!

  • how we all have the ability to feel more confident, but it takes work

‘The insecurity of the writer never goes away. It lives with you. It’s when you start to feel confident that you’re in trouble.’ Harlan Coben

The replay is available for all Inkwell members below. Keep scrolling! ⬇️

Plus, my guided group coaching workshop is available to all members, too. If you want to begin some of this work yourself, this is a good place to start. You can find that here:

I’ll be back next week with some exciting news about changes and new events here at The Inkwell. Till then, keep scribbling!
