After years of writing, blogging, and self-publishing, I felt ready to share what I had learned so far. That’s how I ended up writing one of my most popular books: I Can’t Help Being an INFP Writer: 100+ Tips to Help INFP Writers Capture Ideas, Stay Motivated, and Overcome Problems.
The focus of this book is writing as someone with the INFP personality type because as an INFP, I knew that although I enjoyed writing a lot, many things about the way I preferred to work could either leave me feeling stuck or even work against me. But despite that, I’ve found many solutions that honor my scattered, imaginative mind without letting it throw me off course.
But besides the more “practical” side of writing, writing has been a consistent way for me to stay in touch with who I really am and what I really want over the years. My writing practice has been the key to staying aware of what a life that fits me looks like and has often given me the space I need to bring those dreams into reality.
Along with writing an entire book about being an INFP Writer, I’ve also written quite a few blog posts and articles to share my process and insights. So this complete guide to being an INFP Writer is full of my favorite blog posts and more to inspire your writing process. It’s almost like a mini writing school!
