I’m a little fed up of it all.

I was looking at a blank page and wanted to cry gently.

I’ve been here a hundred times before.

Showing up to create in public, especially when you feel tired and burned out, is not easy.

This is that moment when ‘writing pays my bills, so I must continue’ doesn’t cut it.

I’m running on empty.

But I am not who I was five years ago.

Years of pains like these have provided me with an arsenal of soothing’ medicines.’

I now know, for example, that moments like these aren’t (necessarily) calling for escape.

Sell all my belongings and live in a treehouse without wifi.

Sail a dinghy across the Atlantic.

Not today.

Today, I just need some fuel.

The oven is down to dull embers.

I dig through the memory banks of what has frustrated me or made me straight-up angry recently.

And there it is.

Anger is fuel that helps you fly when you want to avoid showing up.

Most people overlook anger.

They believe it’s toxic and something to cut out of one’s creative process.

But as a writer, I thrive on emotional intensity. And anger is fuel.

What has angered you recently?

Knowing this, why would you ever be ‘burned out?’

I’ll see you at the keyboard.

If you enjoyed this, perhaps you want to master your mindset as a creator.

I shared with you one of many mindset secrets in my course: The Creator’s Mindset Blueprint: My Proven Framework for Thriving in Your Craft.

The course takes you from easily overwhelmed to uncommonly resilient in nine short modules.

I made this course to distil the most useful 9 mindsets I’ve learned over 15 years of staying in the game as a writer, growing my readership to over 220,000.

When my clients come to me with various problems - maybe they’re burned out, lost, or fed up I show them what I share in this course.

They pay tens of thousands for this support and direct experience.

But my course gets you access to these ideas for a fraction of the price.

And, to celebrate the start of summer, it’s $100 off for the next two days until Monday at 5PM ET.

Then it’s gone for three months. I won’t even promote this course anyway after Monday.

Here are the modules that - when absorbed - will set you apart from 99% of other creators:

Buy your copy here ($100 off) before it closes on Monday.

See you in there!
