Words to Write By

A peek into some key insights from Set Your Story Free.

“

____The mind makes 2,000 decisions per hour. Habits take the pressure off by allowing some of those choices to be made on autopilot; use those “saved” decisions to set yourself up to write.” 

— Dr. Rachel Clair

“

____The importance of a messy first draft can be seen in the many iterations of famous work that can be found in museums around the world.” 

— Sophie Campbell

“

____Let the words tumble around your mouth and spill onto the page without restraint or self-conscious censorship. Let it all hang out.” 

— Dr. Kerry Neville

“

____Flow is the polar opposite of distraction. When we’re in a state of flow, the world isn’t pulling our attention around as we engage in meaningful, creative effort.” 

— Anne Janzer
