Are you dreaming of writing your first book, developing a children’s story, or figuring out whether to pursue traditional publishing or self-publishing?

Writing can feel exciting, overwhelming, and deeply personal — often all at once.

I’ve been there. After starting this website as a blog, I went on to self-publish my first book and later created children’s books, educational resources, and writing tools along the way. The resources shared here are shaped by that journey, and are designed to support creativity, reflection, and steady progress — whatever form your writing takes.

The Ink Pot Planner grew out of this process — a guided workbook, planner, and journal designed to support writers who want structure without rigidity, and encouragement without pressure. Whether you’re exploring ideas, building a habit, or shaping a longer project, it’s intended to support you at your own pace.
