The power of “try it and see” in professional writing
So many educators I’ve talked with this year have named the same challenge: the freeze point in professional writing. We wait for clarity before we begin—but clarity usually comes after we start.
One of the simplest ways to get moving again is the “Try It and See” method. Low‑stakes experiments, sticky notes, mind maps, messy drafts—they all help thaw the freeze and reveal the angle you’ve been circling.
If you’re sitting on an idea, this might be the nudge you need to get it moving.
Three signs your idea is ready for a book
So many educators tell me they want to write a book “someday,” but don’t feel ready. The truth is, most authors begin long before they feel fully prepared.
In this week’s article, I’m sharing three signs your idea is more ready than you think — plus a gentle invitation to take the next step if you’re feeling that spark.
And if you’ll be at SXSW EDU, I’d love to meet with you during my mentor appointments to talk through your idea.
