Question 3 of 7

In the last thirty days, how motivated have you felt to write?

A

I’ll feel inspired every now and then!

B

I think I’m burnt out :( No motivation here.

C

When I think about my story, I get really excited! It’s just the “writing it down” part that feels really hard for some reason.

D

Extremely motivated! I'm on a roll!

Question 4 of 7

How satisfied are you with your writing progress in the last 30, 60, or 90 days? 

A

Incredibly satisfied. I haven’t felt this kind of flow and sustainable writing in… ever.

B

Pretty satisfied. I have good days and bad days, but I am making progress, even if it feels slower than I'd like.

C

Fairly unsatisfied. Even when I FINALLY have the time and the energy, when I sit down to write? Nothing happens!

D

I think about my story all the time, but I haven’t written at all.

Question 5 of 7

It’s a Saturday free of any and all obligations. How are you choosing to spend your cup-filling day?

A

Call up a friend I haven’t seen in a while and see if they’d like to get some writing done together.

B

Find a new bookstore in a small town and walk around with a delicious beverage and a new book in my hands, ready to spend some time cuddled up with a good read!

C

Get snuggled up and find a podcast, craft book, online webinar, or YouTube videos to learn more about writing!

D

I’d knock out all the tasks I didn’t have time to do during the week so I can start Sunday with a fresh to-do list to fill back up on Monday!

Question 6 of 7

What’s a common behavior during one of your writing sessions?

A

Opening up another Google tab for research ideas for your manuscript, or to look up a podcast episode or YouTube video to learn a trick about writing dialogue or backstory, or read a blog post from an author who’s revealing all her tips and tricks about how to best engage readers… you get it. There’s always more to learn!

B

Putting your head in your hands and wondering (again): “Why bother? Who’s going to read this? What trash.”

C

You get distracted by your phone, or a notification on your computer, or a thought that goes rogue… Wait. What was the question again?

D

Praying, “Please stay asleep, child. Please stay asleep. Mama just wants to get…" Ugh. Okay. You'll be right there.

Question 7 of 7

Out of the following options, which do you believe will MOST get you to your next level as a writer, every single time?

A

Pursuing continued education on craft and mindset: you don’t know what you don’t know, and there’s so much to learn about how you can strengthen your story, craft, and mindset! You believe you level up in your writing whenever you learn more than you knew before!

B

You're leveling up in your writing life by thinking about writing all.the.time and doing your best to show up when you can. You level up whenever you can finally show up for the stories on your heart, no matter what's going on. There are sooo many ideas to capture from what you see all around you; making the time and finding the energy to write those ideas down will always level you up as a writer!

C

You're always putting others first and your own writing seems to come last, so what you believe will get you to the next level as a writer is finding a way to both be present for those in your life AND for your writing.
