My secret helper 

I’ve decided 2025 is the year I’m publishing the first three books of my new children’s series, Serena’s Adventures. 

To do this I need to set aside time each week to focus on all the tasks I have to complete. 

I can do this. 

Next, I need to stick to my plan. 

This is where I come unstuck. 

I’m very good at putting time in my diary but something always seems to get in the way of me actually doing the work. 

I find this very frustrating. I know what I want to do, it just seems impossible to achieve. 

An email from Randy Ingermanson introduced me to my secret helper, my subconscious mind. He is the author of a book called How to write a novel using the snowflake method. I think this book is excellent and would recommend reading it if you are considering creating a story. 

Randy suggested as well as blocking time out in my diary, to schedule 15mins at the end of the day to think about my chosen project and plan my next steps. This way I engage my subconscious, to become excited about my tasks and motivated to work on them. 

I’m excited to try out this idea. It feels like it is the final piece in puzzle of how to keep me motivated on something I want to achieve. 

I’m looking forward to getting to know my secret helper. 

How do you keep motivated? 

In my interactive story creating book, ‘I Can Create Stories’, children, aged between 8 – 12 years old, can read, draw, create and listen to stories. I love seeing the change, in confidence, a story can make to a child. Please message me if you’d like to know more about my book or a signed copy.
