Four Gifts No Writer Can Do Without, Part 4: Hope

By on December 29, 2012 in 7. Search by Author:, General Topics, Reba Hoffman, Writer's life, Writing Life, Writing Life Coaching

As we place the period at the end of a roller coaster year and usher in a brand new 2013, the one thing a writer absolutely can NOT do without is hope. There are many reasons why people have lost hope in their dreams of being an author. I’m sure you know many of the reasons so I won’t use precious word count to name them. What is important to list is all the reasons why you should have hope, and why you simply can’t be without it. Hope is the fuel that churns the engine of creativity. To be a successful writer, you must be creative and that is not possible unless you have hope. Hope is the magic that takes you to your happy place. Ok, at the […]

Four Gifts No Writer Can Do Without, Part 2: Passion

By on December 15, 2012 in Encourage Me!, Life Coaching

Let’s face it. Working at something you’re not passionate about is agonizing. Each moment you spend trudging through feels like you’re dragging a ball and chain. Most people abandon the pursuit out of self-preservation. When you lack passion for something that you don’t enjoy, it’s not really so horrible. You can work around it. For example, I hate to do housework. I am more passionate about root canal than mopping floors. I dread it. But, I could hire a reliable maid to get that job done for me. But what happens if you’re not passionate about what you love and feel called to do? What if you want to be a published author and you aren’t passionate about your writing? That’s a recipe for disaster. Just like falling in and […]
