From Sunhat to Story: Gentle Ways & Tools to Jump Back In

​

Hi, Reader! Summer’s nearly over, back-to-school is looming, and your writing might be hiding under a sunhat somewhere - but fear not!

​

This month, I’ve been sharing more bingo cards on social media - they're fun, low-pressure prompts to spark creativity, boost motivation, and help you find moments to write (even when it feels impossible).

​

I’ve also been sharing reels of my favourite writing tools - simple ways to make writing more fun, less fussy, and a lot more doable. Think gold star stickers, tarot cards, Post-it notes, noise-cancelling headphones, and handy digital tools. Perfect for sparking ideas, keeping your thoughts organised, or giving your creativity a gentle nudge when you need it most!

​
Take a look, and if you’ve missed any of the bingo cards, I’ve included links to them below. Keep an eye on my social media this Monday for the final one in the series.

​

Find me on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and Substack for more gentle writing prompts, behind-the-scenes rambles, and neurodivergent-friendly bookish encouragement.

Meet the Woman Behind the Keyboard Gail Doggett - Writing Mentor and Coach

I've been working with writers for two decades, from acquiring fiction and non-fiction at a major publishing house, all the way to being in 1:1 critique relationships, and accountability partnerships.

​

I bloody love talking about stories, and characters, ideas and I'm also very aware of what it's like to feel stuck and wanting to bang your head on the desk (please don't do that!).

​

And for all of us neurodivergent folk, as a late-diagnosed ADHDer myself, I also want to reiterate that there's no shame either in getting stuck or just feeling like you can't get yourself together to do this, even though it's all that you can think about. But I do want you to tell your story.

​

Get in touch, and let's see what we can do together!
