There’s something about December that invites us to pause. To look at what we’ve created, what we’ve learned, and what we still feel called to bring into the world.

And while you may spend this month mapping out goals for revenue, visibility, and growth, there’s another goal that quietly sits beneath the surface—one that so many people feel but rarely speak out loud:

“One day… I want to write ____________.”

A book.
A blog.
A memoir.
A collection of stories.
Fill in the blank.

Nearly every entrepreneur, leader, or creative I’ve ever worked with has felt this tug—and yet most will immediately say:

“But I’m not a writer.”

And that’s where the real story begins.

Because writing isn’t something you suddenly become one day.
Writing is something you step into—sentence by sentence, idea by idea, moment by moment, until one day, you look back and realize:

You’ve been a writer all along.

Why Writing Calls to So Many Entrepreneurs & Leaders

If you’re feeling that nudge to write in 2026, you’re not alone. Writing is one of the most powerful ways to:

  • Clarify your thinking
    When you write, you’re forced to slow down long enough to hear your own ideas.
  • Capture your wisdom
    You’ve lived a story worth sharing—whether through your business journey, your life experience, or the lessons you’ve earned along the way.
  • Shape your legacy
    Books last. Stories last. Words carry forward long after the moment they’re written.
  • Deepen your impact
    Your insights can reach people you’ll never meet. Writing expands your voice in ways other marketing strategies can’t.

But the real reason writing calls to us is simpler than all of that:

Writing helps us understand who we are becoming.

Choosing What You’re Called to Write

You don’t need to decide today whether you’re writing a book, a blog, or a memoir. You only need to decide whether you’re willing to explore the question. Here are a few possibilities to consider:

A Business Book
If you’ve built expertise over years of doing the work, a book can position you as a thought leader—not because of clever branding, but because your ideas finally have a home.

A Memoir or Personal Story
Not every story is meant for the marketplace. Some are meant to heal, to honour, to preserve, or to make sense of your own journey. Those stories matter deeply.

A Novel or Creative Project
Sometimes the truest parts of ourselves come out through imagination — when we stop writing “content” and start writing from the soul.

A Blog or Short-Form Writing
Writing regularly—even small pieces—builds a rhythm, a voice, and confidence. A blog can be the perfect place to begin.

A Legacy Project
Your experiences, reflections, and lessons for the next generation… these are gifts no one else can write.

There is no wrong choice—only the project that feels alive for you right now.

The Only Question You Need to Ask Yourself This Month:
What is the story inside you that refuses to stay quiet?

Not the story you think your business “should” tell.
Not the story you believe is the most marketable.
Not the story you feel pressured to produce.

Just the one that keeps whispering,
“It’s time.”

Because when you finally give yourself permission to write—truly write—something powerful shifts.

You gain clarity.
You reconnect with your creativity.
You feel more grounded, more aligned, more you.

And whether that leads to a published book, a private journal, a blog series, or the first page of a novel, the transformation begins the moment you start.

If Writing Is Calling You in 2026…

This is a beautiful time to explore it.

Not with pressure.
Not with perfection.
Just with curiosity and an open door.

If writing has been tugging at your sleeve, consider this your invitation to pause and ask:

What might happen if I finally said yes?
