Powerful Writing

Do you ever start writing, thinking you know exactly what you want to say – and then go off on a tangent and end up in the weeds?

I do. That’s when I remember to get out one of my favorite tools – the Writing Purpose Worksheet. It helps me map out my points and make sure that I’m actually making the impact that I want to.

Use this handy tool when you’re planning a blog post, an article, a chapter, or an entire book. I’ve even used it to develop speeches and presentations.

Please let me know how you’re using it!

Enter your email below to download your free Writing Purpose Worksheet and ongoing author resources.
