Welcome to Words Worth Sharing

For over-50 accomplished women ready to show up and be seen by writing online. It's not too late. We need your wisdom.

Welcome, I’m happy to meet you.

Here’s my vision for this Substack.

The short version: I created Words Worth Sharing for female over-50 writers to become unstoppable. To overcome whatever limits we face in getting our message out.

Because:

• It’s time to be seen.

• You’re passionate about making a positive impact.

• Words are powerful agents of change and we need to learn what you have to share.

But, as writers, we sometimes need help to become unstuck.

You feel:

• nervous about putting your ideas out into the world.

• unsure of whether you’re “good enough” as a writer

• overwhelmed with the process and need support and guidance.

That’s why I created Words Worth Sharing. To face those fears together and see them for the paper tigers they are.

THE MISSION

Being a writer isn’t easy. Self-expression takes a lot of your time and energy.

But it is deeply rewarding to make a difference with your words.

My goal is to support impact-driven writers to create a sustainable creative practice.

I’ll share practical strategies and mindset shifts that have helped me write regularly online and self-publish a book on Amazon. And that will help you save time and the heartache of being stuck.

Having a guide and community makes the creative journey more fun, less lonely, and easier.

A BIT ABOUT ME

All my life I’ve found the creative flow of writing and reading immensely fulfilling. And I want to help fellow women over 50 tap into the connection, energy, and satisfaction I’ve found. On as simple, enjoyable, and direct path as possible.

This post describes why I’m here, how writing lights me up, and a bit about my story.

Writing Online In Your 60s Is The New Anti-Aging Street Drug

FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLES

Here’s what I know:

1. Consistency is required. A regular writing habit sets us up for constant improvement.

2. We progress at our own pace. Staying “in our own lane” is smart. Ditching comparisonitis protects our souls and allows us to travel further.

3. Community and systems make the creative journey easier. We don’t need to reinvent the wheel. It’s okay to “steal” tactics and templates from other creators. Being in touch with fellow writers is gold.

4. There is a place and audience for your writing. After some exploration and a bit of guided discovery, we find our creative homes.

5. We start from where we are. Beginner or further along. Writing a journal, ebook, online post, or nonfiction book. There are endless creative possibilities to explore.

My promise to you

In this Substack, I promise to:

• Share my own story—fears, setbacks, wins, and insights.

• Help you recognise and remove mental, emotional, and creative obstacles.

• Encourage your growth mindset to squeeze the juice out of the creative journey.

• Bring you actionable advice and practical strategies to improve your writing.

• Respond to your comments and continue to grow our community.

• Believe in your right to make an impact with your words.

• Engage with the community when you can.

• Take tiny strategic steps and back your vision with action.

Some common topics I cover: creative mindset, writing online, writing craft, authorship, connection, impact, limiting beliefs
