Hello, my friend!

I hope you and your people are having a splendid September!

In writing news, my latest children’s book will be released in six days! It’s a tribute to the late Charlie Kirk. You can read all about it and order your pre-order copy here!

I’m also starting edits on my collection of Greek myth retellings. When those are done, I plan to dust off and tackle a screenplay that’s in need of a rewrite! Fun fact about me, I earned my degree in Radio-TV-Film, with an emphasis in screenwriting. While I love writing scripts, what I love even more is the fact that publishing books is a whole lot easier than selling screenplays! What matters most to me is that my stories are shared; I don’t much mind in which format :).

BE A BREATH OF FRESH AIR…

“All you can do for another person is be an environment in which if they wanted to come up for air, they could.” – Ram Dass

STORY APPRECIATION

“Story isn’t a flight from reality but a vehicle that carries us on our search for reality, our best effort to make sense out of the anarchy of existence.” – Robert McKee

BABY STEPS = SUCCESS

“‘A moving ship is easier to steer.’ (Someone smart.)’

“Just take a baby step today and stick with it. It is easier to pivot down the road than completely start from a standstill.” – Katie Voetberg

NERVOUS SYSTEM T.L.C.

“If your nervous system feels a little overloaded lately, try this simple experiment for a few days:

• Consume less information in the morning (no podcasts or scrolling for the first hour)
• Spend that time with light, movement, or quiet presence instead

I’ve noticed that when I do this, my intuition is clearer and my reactions softer. Sometimes healing isn’t about adding tools—it’s about creating space.” – Katie Wells
