Hi Yasmin, this was great to read. Even though, I am not a writer, I enjoyed the tips shared. What is your process for writing this newsletter. Do you find that there is less "pressure" for this sort of content to write? Does it come easier for you to write this and decide on the topics and themes?

I have only ever written for work, but more and more I feel an urge to write something more personal, I always reign it in, afraid of letting what out I don't know, I really have nothing to hide, just lots I want to share. Saving your post as inspiration to help me get started.

Really enjoyed this newsletter! If I am ever feeling like your friend, I try to remind myself there really is no substitute for just doing. Even if progress is slow sometimes, the only way to write something is to actually write it! I also loved one of Julia Camerons other books, Write for life. It's a great read and super motivating!

Some great advice here. Especially agree about not telling people your ideas too early - I did this with a very fledgling draft of a novel and the feedback killed it off. It has to be big enough and robust enough to survive in the wild!
