Writing Tips, Freebies and Inspiration for Creators

Ever stared at a blank screen, wondering if what you write will actually matter? I’ve been there more times than I can count.

But here's the truth: your words have the power to teach, encourage, transform—and sometimes even heal.

This week, I’m sharing a simple writing tip to get you unstuck, a freebie to spark creativity, and a short dose of inspiration for your journey as a purpose-driven creator.

Let’s dive in!

Quick Writing Tip of the Week

Before you write your next post, email, or chapter—ask yourself one question:

👉 What do I want my reader to walk away with?

When you begin with the end in mind, your writing becomes focused, purposeful, and powerful.

It helps you avoid wandering or over-explaining, and it gives your reader a clear takeaway they’ll remember.

Inspiration for the Journey

“Don’t try to figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure out what you have to say. It’s the one and only thing you have to offer.”
Barbara Kingsolver

Your story. Your voice. Your message. That’s the gift.

When Moses doubted his ability to speak, God didn’t choose someone else—He equipped Moses for the task. (Exodus 4:10–12)
You may feel unsure about your words, but if God placed a message on your heart, He’ll give you what you need to share it. Just like Moses, your obedience can lead others to freedom—one word at a time.
