Nailed It  Author: Amy Miles    Release Date: March 28th, 2017 Today's writers deal with pressures from all sides: to publish quickly, to stay seen in an over flooded market, to keep their readers happy and to find a way to earn enough money to keep following their dreams.  Writing is not easy. It can be lonely, disheartening and it is easy to feel buried by the very thing you were once passionate about. NAILED IT is 150 inspirations, mantras, motto's or quirky sayings that I have used in my personal bouts with burnout. I hope they will encourage you, inspire you and remind you that although writing is a solo endeavor, writers all around the world understand the pressure you feel to succeed.

  Education for our children is important and something that we all wish to have instilled into our children. Some children though have difficulties learning and we don't wish to discourage their learning but they are bothered by the way others are taught, they get frustrated and evidently decide one day to stop learning .  As parents, family members and educators we wish for this not to happen and Learning Success - www.learningsuccessblog.com   has created a number of different activities to help the children learn.

The other day I had a conversation with a couple of friends , the first was all about getting my writing mojo back so I have decided to follow the 365 days - Monthly writing prompts that I discovered on Pinterest.  The second conversation was about handwriting and it got me thinking that these days all of our writing tends to be done via computers and I had a lightbulb moment, that I didn't want to lose my amazing handwriting as I do have to admit I am an amazing handwriter, I have great penmanship. I also have a lot of journals lying around home - as I have to admit I am a journal freak.  So that brings me to my goal for 2017 , I will be doing the writing prompts but handwriting them in my journal.   January Journal Prompts 1. What are you most looking forward to? 2. Three goals for this month 3. Describe your day in ten words 4. Something that you're looking forward to 5. A time you don't want to forget 6. A trip you want to take this year 7. Your top ...
