Looking to get more out of writing? Then you've come to the right place.
I'm Michael with WriterSanctuary.
It's my goal to share with you everything I've learned over the years about freelance writing, blogging, WordPress, and self-publishing. I've been a freelance writer since 2012 and published my first book in November of 2021. Over the years, I've accumulated a great deal of knowledge and hope I can help you find your own path as a writer.
From writing with content mills like Textbroker to self-publishing books on Amazon and Barnes & Noble, I'll do what I can to help you succeed in your writing endeavors.
As a WordPress expert, I also dive into many aspects of operating a blog. Because every writer should have a professional website, I want yours to succeed.
So, let me know what I can help you with today.

This week's Find Your Calm Card: "Choose to monostask for 10 minutes. If you're feeling anxious, choose one task and do it for 10 minutes. For example, only answer emails or take the time to clear off your desk."
I've been trying to monotask for quite some time. I found that multitasking usually led to a higher degree of mistakes. Besides, studies show how bad multitasking is for the brain, so it's a good idea to take on one task at a time until completion. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11543232/

Currently, I'm working on a 9-video series diving deeper into the functions of Reedsy Studio and how you can publish a book for free (without AI). The idea is to turn them into a free course on YouTube.
Then, I plan on doing a series for WordPress, which has been requested by quite a few people.
Is there something you'd like me to consider for YouTube courses or videos? Feel free to leave it in the comments.

This week's Find Your Calm card says...
Get out in the fresh air. Take a break from whatever you are doing and get your blood pumping. Just 20 minutes of fresh air and some sun can promote peace of mind.
This is something I've been doing for quite a long time, and I can attest to how effective it can be. Walking with my music playing in the sun has helped me visualize so many great scenes and dialogue for my stories, not to mention being able to relax and center myself when things get rough.

What world-building app do you enjoy the most and why?

Members, tonight we're looking at the Edda writing app by Volsung Technologies. It's a relatively new writing platform that has a one-time purchase option. We'll put it to the test during the Live at 5 tonight and see what it can do.

Channel members, we'll be outlining a book from the Reedsy Plot Generator during Friday's Live at 5. I'm going over the process of why I outline and how it avoids writer's block. What story are you working on, and are you a plotter or pantser?

Green screen is on its way. Looking forward to putting myself on the beach...or maybe even a library? Oh, the possibilities...
