Sometimes, the things we leave unsaid stay with us longer than the things we say. The apology we never gave. The truth we kept hidden. The feelings we were afraid to share. In Pieces of Our Past: Stories of Our Future, I explore the dreams, choices, and pieces of ourselves we carry through life.

You don’t need to have the whole roadmap figured out before you begin. Sometimes the story reveals itself as you write. Have a book idea you've been thinking about? Start writing it. Your story begins with that first idea. #WritingTips #WritingCoach #HowToWriteABook #WriteYourBook

Sometimes emotional pain is hard to see, but it can shape how we treat others. What if we became better at recognizing the pain behind the behavior? #EmotionalIntelligence #HumanConnection #Empathy #PersonalGrowth #DouglasRobbins

This warning from David Letterman to the media from just a year ago feels sadly too relevant today. He is right: You can't appease a tyrant.

This aired just the once in 1998 on the live SNL show for which McKay wrote it. It was effectively banned as it never aired again. I wonder why. MEDIA-OPOLY

Writers, you don’t need more ideas. You need to start. 1. Pick the idea you can’t stop thinking about. 2. Write down what you want to say. 3. Write one page. You don’t need the whole book figured out. Just start. Follow for more writing tips and encouragement. #WritingTips #WritingCoach

I wrote The Reluctant Human to explore a simple but difficult question: Can we find our way by first walking the wrong road? A story of pain, redemption, self-discovery, and the hope that it’s never too late to change. Get your copy of The Reluctant Human. Link in the comments.

Sometimes we try so hard to fit in that we hide the very parts of ourselves that make us who we are. Fitting in asks you to change. Belonging allows you to be yourself. Have you ever felt like you didn’t belong? #HumanConnection #Belonging #Identity #PersonalGrowth

I remember Dolly Parton’s words: “If you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.” Writing is much the same. The struggle is part of the journey and sometimes it leads us to our best stories. Keep writing through the rain. #DollyParton #RememberingDolly #Storytelling #WritingInspiration
