Bestselling Author & Book Coach
Camille Campins-Adams 
When I start hearing the same thing from different clients, I take note. And I hear this one over and over again:
“I would love to write a book. I’m just a bad writer.”
Allow me to Dwight Schrute this one and claim FALSE. You’re not a bad writer. Maybe you’ve built up that limiting belief in your head based on what or who you think a “writer” should be, but that certainly doesn’t make such a broad, blanket statement true.
It may seem a bit self-serving for an editor to write an article about why self-editing doesn’t work. After all, if authors edited their own manuscripts, there would be no point in hiring a professional editor, and I would be out of a job. This work is my bread and butter. It’s how I get paid.
You may or may not know this about me, but I am a writing/book coach who has loved writing and reading since before I could even comprehend my love for the written word. Sounds cuckoo, I know. I am quirky, what can I say?
I really failed to grasp the depth of my passion for writing until my twenties. Before then, I felt what I like to describe as a gentle nudge, yet I struggled to discern what it meant.
You may be surprised to hear that I landed in my first Alcoholics Anonymous meeting at the tender age of seven. Before you freak out, let me assure you that I wasn’t an alcoholic at seven. I was there because my parents were required to be there and they didn’t have anything to do with me except bring me along. So there I was.

As an entrepreneur and mom of three, I’m not proud to admit that I’m always busy and constantly in a rush.
I think it is in my nature to be in a hurry though – ever since I was little, I’ve been one of those people on a mission to get from point A to point B. My walk is more of a trot and it would be out of character for me to take a casual stroll or go window shopping.
I find it REALLY hard to slowwww down.
In honor of April Fool’s day, I thought that it would be fun to keep things light and fun this week with a focus on humor.
Are you into April Fool’s jokes? I am! I’m totally the mom who makes my kids fake cake pops with brussel sprouts instead of cake. Or I change their clocks so that they think they woke up late.
