Summary
Welcome back to B is for Book Coach . Today, we’re making space for mobility . I have hyper mobile joints—or, as we might have called it in the ‘90s, “stupid human tricks.” Without any real awareness of this imbalance, I couldn’t put any intention toward rectifying it. So my body did what bodies do best: it contorted itself, according to its overriding command to survive at all costs. This came to mind earlier this past week, when a friend and client sent me an article about why creatives aren’t productive. - The difference between "creatives" and what we are creating - The overdevelopment of willpower muscles - The muscles left to develop - A reminder to pursue balance first The B is for Book Coach space is one way I create direct support for authors as they bring their books to life. If you’d like to expand that space for yourself and someone else , contributing to the Mutual Momentum fund brings those services to authors who need more than just space to get started. You can create a one-time boost of Momentum or subscribe via Substack to keep the forward movement going for us all. And when more of your book is ready to emerge, the space we made today will be here waiting for you. And so will I. Get full access to B is for Book Coach at bisforbookcoach.substack.com/subscribe
