I’m wishing you well. Yes, YOU. No matter where

I’m wishing you well. Yes, YOU. No matter where you are and what you’re going through, I hope you can find something to laugh about, something to be grateful for, someone to hug in the next little while. There’s so much anger and hurt and hatred and fear going around. I hope you can take a moment to find some peace, even just for a moment, among all those difficult feelings. #seeheathersmile

Self-care is more than relaxing Sunday afternoons

Who here has played the Pandemic board game? •
•
I played the Legacy version (a through story line) with some friends, and we’re in the middle of the sequel board game. •
•
Why am I telling you this? Because the Pandemic board game is where I got the inspiration for WIP 2! •
•
Inspiration for my novels can come from the strangest places...

Superheroes get origin stories - why not authors?

Hey, there! I’m Heather and I’m obsessed with

Hey, there! I’m Heather and I’m obsessed with self-care, wellness, and writing fiction! •
•
Why do I talk about self-care and wellness? Because I went through some burnout in 2018 and it made me realize our society’s got self-care issues, myself included. •
•
Why do I love to write fiction? Because writing and reading fictional characters gives me and my readers the chance to learn more about people who are different from us.

Tell me your favourite self-care activity and your favourite book!
Fave self-care activity: playing piano
Fave book: Two Princesses of Bamarre

Drafting for WIP number 2 started in 2018. Then it went on a hiatus as I edited WIP 1 8,000,000 times. •
•
But since sending WIP 1 to agents in March, I’ve been drafting up a storm with WIP 2!! (Like 15,000 words in 21 days!) Let’s keep going!!! #seeheathersmile

This is a throwback post! (And a throwback photo.)

Who knows what I’m talking about when I say plan

Who knows what I’m talking about when I say planners and pantsers?
•
•
It’s a writing thing! Do you like to plan things ahead of time or fly by the seat of your pants?
•
•
You can check out the blog post for more info my clicking on the link in my bio. •
•
Are you a planner or a pantser? I’m a plantser! #seeheathersmile

Blogging isn’t dead. It’s just different. And I still love reading blogs. •
•
In fact, here are a few of my favourites from the past while! The link to the list is in my bio. •

You have these dreams and these projects you want to finish and these skills you want to learn but it’s just so hard! How do you even get started??
•
•
While you’ve actually gotta do the work, goal setting and tracking will make a huge difference in whether you reach that goal or you fall short. •
•
Today’s post on the See Heather Smile blog is the ultimate guide to goal setting! The link is in my bio. •
•
What’s one of your goals for 2020? One of mine is to get my book picked up and on the journey to getting traditionally published! #seeheathersmile

I got a little obsessed with self-care and telling everybody about it after a bout of burnout. •
•
Now I’m all about figuring out my limits and setting boundaries and putting myself first. •
•
It sounds selfish, but it’s not. It’s absolutely necessary. •
•
I’ll be posting a video on Facebook this afternoon all about what self-care is, what it’s not, and why it matters. #seeheathersmile

I’m excited that things are taking a turn for the better around here. I’m also nervous that because of that, people are going to get lax about how wide their in-person social circle becomes. •
•
But phase 1 of the gradual return to normalcy means the fiancé and I can visit our parents again. YAY! And our plan is to keep our social circle to that size for now. •

Work-life balance. • • Overdone topic? Maybe.

Work-life balance. •
•
Overdone topic? Maybe. Definitive answer? Probably never. But here’s my take. •
•
Work-life balance exists. But not in the way we’ve been thinking for years. It’s not about equilibrium. It’s just about not crashing down. •
•
The balance will be imperfect. •

Pursuing blogging and writing has been really amazing and fulfilling for me. It’s also been crazy difficult and often frustrating. •
•
I just want to remind people that we’re all posting highlight reels on social media. In terms of creators, that means you’re not seeing their struggle, the hours of research and creation, the failures, the questioning. •
•
You’re seeing our successes and our hopes. You’re seeing mostly the good, and whatever bit of the bad we feel comfortable enough to share. •
•
And having you along for the ride has been a whole other honour itself. Thanks to all the supporters out there letting me know that I am making a difference, despite my failures and questioning. Thanks for letting me be a part of your own journey to positive living. Thanks for sticking around while I pretend like this was the plan all along. •
•
You guys are amazing. #allthelovetoyou

Who will win?! Fiction vs non-fiction is on the blog today!
•
•
I love non-fiction for getting detailed information on the things I want to learn, and I love fiction for escaping into another person’s life. •
•
QUICK POLL:
Fiction or non-fiction?
A) Fiction!
B) Non-fiction
C) There’s a time and place for both! #seeheathersmile

It can be hard to get your name out there as a choreographer. How do you let people know that you’re open for business?
