Ever feel like your writing dreams are just out of reach, like that one chapter you’ve been meaning to finish for months? Turns out, all you might need is a little visual magic—a vision board! Whether you’re dreaming of completing your first novel, landing a book deal, or seeing your name on the shelves at Exclusive Books, a vision board can help you stay inspired, focused, and—most importantly—excited about your writing journey.
What’s a Vision Board Anyway?
A vision board is like your dreams on display. Think of it as a collage of everything you’re working towards—your ultimate writing goals brought to life. It’s personal, motivating, and so much more fun than keeping your dreams locked up in your head. Basically, it’s a DIY reminder that says, “You’ve got this!”
Why Should You Bother?
“Do I really need a vision board?” you ask. The short answer: absolutely. The longer answer: Vision boards aren’t just about pretty pictures. They’re a practical tool to keep your goals top of mind. By seeing them daily, you’ll feel more inspired to keep going, even on the tough days. Plus, let’s be honest—who doesn’t love an excuse to get a little crafty?
How to Create Your Vision Board
Step 1: Dream Big (Like, Really Big)
Start by imagining your ultimate writing success. Is it finishing that first draft? Signing with a publisher? Hosting a book launch in your favourite bookstore? Don’t hold back—this is your chance to dream as big as you like. No idea is too ambitious!
Step 2: Get Creative
Time to get hands-on! Grab a piece of cardboard, some magazines, scissors, and glue. Look for images, words, or quotes that resonate with your writing goals. Maybe it’s a cosy writing nook, a bestseller list with your name at the top, or a powerful quote from your favourite author. Assemble these into your vision board, keeping it fun and personal.
Step 3: Mix Big Goals with Small Wins
While dreaming big is important, don’t forget to include smaller, more immediate goals too. These could be as simple as “write 500 words a day” or “submit a short story to a magazine.” Celebrating small wins keeps you motivated and builds momentum toward the bigger milestones.
Step 4: Display It Proudly
Put your vision board somewhere you’ll see it every day—above your writing desk, on your cupboard door, or even framed on a wall. It’s not just decoration; it’s a daily reminder to keep pushing forward. And when you achieve a goal? Update your board with new dreams—there’s always more to aspire to!
Why It Works
Vision boards work because they keep your goals front and centre. Seeing your dreams every day helps focus your energy and keeps your motivation alive. It’s a visual way of saying, “This is where I’m going, and I’ll get there.”
