Who cares if you show up if you aren't bringing anything to the table? ?⁣ ⁣ I've been thinking a lot lately about online ? content, and if it really matters. I know it does, but like, maybe not in the way that we're told it does. ??‍♀️⁣ ⁣ ?? Stick with me on this.⁣ ⁣ You can brag? all you want about how consistent you are. But if the quality of the content you produce is slipping, it's probably a good idea to take a break. ? This applies to videos, podcasts, blogs, photos -- whatever you may share.⁣ ⁣ I think it's important to remember the content exists to ? support something else. It's not the end product. (I mean, I guess it is for some, but I mainly work with folks who use content as a way to market what they do. So that's who I'm ? talking to.)⁣ ⁣ When I post something, I want it to resonate ? with my audience. And I can't do that if I'm going through the motions or if my head is somewhere else. ?⁣ ⁣ Don't get me wrong -- I built my platform with ? consistency. You used to be able to set your watch to my blog posting schedule. But now, things have changed, and I've got some pretty exciting irons in the fire. ? ? ?⁣ ⁣ I'm interested to know what you think. How important is consistent posting to you? ⁣ ⁣ #artlikeaboss #creativecoach #creativebusiness #creativehappylife #creativityfound #mycreativebiz #calledtobecreative #creativelifehappylife #handsandhustle #creativepreneur #communityovercompetition #tnchustler #creativeentrepreneur #createeveryday #doitfortheprocess #thenativecreative #creativelife #savvybusinessowner #entrepreneurlifestyle #femaleentrepreneur #beyourownboss #goaldigger #beingboss #carveouttimeforart #whereiwork #inspireothers #selfgrowth #personalgrowth #creativeminds #womenwhohustle

As I gear up to publish my short story ? collection, I'm reminded how happy I am to be a planner. ?⁣ ⁣ Balancing ? edits, ? cover design, and a ? launch is so much easier when you plan ahead. And when you add plotting out a ? special project? to that list, you gotta have a plan.⁣ ⁣ I created The Author Platform Planner to help ✍? writers plan the social media content they'll share. No matter where you post your ? content, this planner can help you plan. And if you need some help with the ? emails you send before a book release, this planner has your back there too. If that sounds like something you'd like to ? check out, click the link in my bio and pick planners and journals. ?⁣ ⁣ Now, if you'll excuse me, I must dive back into edits. ??‍♀️⁣ ⁣ ::pulls hood over her head and hunches at her computer like a goblin::⁣ ⁣ #writerswrite #writtenwords #writerofig #writerlife #writergram #writersofinsta #writinglove #writinglife #writergirl #writersgram #writeeveryday #storyteller #writeon #tellstories #storytelling #authorsofinstagram #authorlife #amwriting #writerslife #igwriters #authors #instawriter #writersoninstagram #writerscommunity #instawrite #wordsmith #creativewriting #writingcommunity #write #wordgasm

On Fridays, Rosie and I are most anxious in anticipation of what take out we'll have for dinner.⁣ ⁣ (To be clear: I will eat the take out and Rosie will sniff the air around me and go through her four trick arsenal trying to get a treat.)⁣ ⁣ #lovethelittlethings #myeverydaymagic ⁣ #thepursuitofjoyproject #momentsofmine #livefullyalive #lifelivedbeautifully #thatauthenticfeeling #enjoythelittlethings #pursuitofhappiness #abmhappylife #itshappyhere #forahappymoment #theeverydayproject #slowliving #littlestoriesofmylife #todays_simplicity #lovelysquares #solovelysofree #gatheringslikethese #momentslikethese #myunicornlife #belovedlife #pursuewhatislovely #holdthemoments #humansofjoy #littlebitsof_life #documentlife #makeitblissful #everydaymoments #theartofslowliving

Let's talk about the #nineofpentacles. ?⁣ ⁣ It's a card all about abundance ? and celebrating the abundance you've created. But let's be very clear, here. ⁣ ⁣ It's not just about money. None of the pentacles are all about money. ? ?⁣ ⁣ I always think of them in terms of comfort and your relationship to being comfortable in the moment you're in. That may sounds confusing so here are some things that I associate with the pentacles:⁣ ? Food in the fridge⁣ ? A cozy spot to read⁣ ? Being surrounded by people you love⁣ ? The freedom to do the work that nourishes your soul⁣ ? Space to notice and think⁣ ⁣ I know this isn't the definition that people want, and any time I pull a pentacle for someone, they get real excited about how they'll be rolling in money.⁣ ⁣ But it's like the IX of pentacles tells us -- you have to enjoy the abundance you've created, and generally speaking, abundance isn't brand new cars ? and swimming in coins like Scrooge McDuck. ?⁣ ⁣ It's a full pot of coffee ☕ you can share with your partner. It's a casserole in the oven ? that Mom is cooking. It's a couch ?that can hold you and your dog. It's a room of one's own ? to write and think in. ⁣ ⁣ ❌ I am not saying this fixes wealth inequality. ⁣ ❌ I'm not saying that it's fine for a small percentage of the population to hoard all the wealth. ⁣ ❌ I'm not saying you should settle for subpar living conditions.⁣ ⁣ But if you are reading this on Al Gore's internet ? with an affordable pocket-sized computer ? that you use to scroll this hellsite to feel inadequate, know that you have some abundance to celebrate.⁣ ⁣ ? by @k.trattner.author⁣ ⁣ #tarot #tarotcards#tarotreadersofinstagram #tarotcommunity #witchesofinstagram #witchcraft #witchery #witches #witchywoman #tarotreader #tarotreading #tarotspread
