"I love it! I honestly feel Scribbly has been created just for me. It couldn't have come at a better time. It's amazing...wonderful quirkiness...and I love it. I feel like you're speaking right to me."
— Anna fairs, england
"I honestly feel Scribbly was created just for me!"
I've always loved writing. But once I started working in the corporate world - I didn't make the time to write on a regular basis. And when I started my own business? I managed to squeeze in some creative writing but never enough.
Finally, ten years ago, I decided to invest in me. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made.
I used to be in
your shoes.
Now I'm a full-time writer and my writing has been featured on NBC News, and the Globe and Mail to name a few! I'm a best-selling author and I coach women worldwide on how to write their books.
What will happen when YOU show up for YOUR writing?
but guess what...
Scribbly is just what you've been looking for! With my gentle writing program you start writing in 5 minutes. It's uncommon & quirky and you immediately step into the world of writing without any stress.
Cool factor? Your Scribbly periodical lands right in your home mailbox every 30 days!
PLUS! Scribbly members get a *chance to have their writing published in future issues of Scribbly and/or on my website. (*Based on acceptance of submission.)

I absolutely love Kim's program -
It even sounds fun! I can't believe how easy it is to write with her guidance. I knew I had words within me waiting to be written and shared. Kim's program has done just that. I have now stepped into a writer's world.
With each Scribbly delivered to my mailbox, I feel as excited as a kid on Christmas morning. I can't wait to open the brown paper envelope with my name handwritten on the front! I almost burst waiting to explore the contents and view the whimsical drawings scattered throughout her booklet.
Sometimes, I don't even make it home before jumping into the newest installment of Scribbly. (I may have been caught a time or two in my car, sipping a cup of tea in our Tim Hortons parking lot while exploring the fresh new pages!)
Each Scribbly has a theme that encourages you to explore and create on your own time. The topics Kim has created and her question prompts, spur thought and evoke creativity. The program allows you to express your ideas into words that flow and not be judged for expressing your inner voice.
If you have ANY inkling for writing or have the dream to be an author of words.. your words...Scribbly is the place to start!
Scribbly is fun, full of quotes, adorable pictures, and insightful information. You will be writing immediately!
Kim's Scribbly Program is a rare and surprising gift.

I like to write with pencil. Just like pens there are different pencils for different jobs. Wood cased (the kind that require a sharpener), Midori, Mitsubushi. As well as my trusty Pentel Twist Erase lll. (Current favorite lead is a smooth, dark 2B made by Fabre Castell.)
Pencils don’t “hitch” like a pen will. My hand doesn’t get fatigued and my arm doesn’t ache when using a pencil for a long period of time. It’s not about the ability to erase (which I don’t do anyway), but the feel of a smooth writing pencil on paper.
I feel like I could write forever.

YOUR WORDS DESERVE TO BE HERE
I see her. The old woman. She is sitting on a park bench. The same park bench every day surrounded by birds and squirrels. Each time I come to the park she is here.
The old woman is known to all who come to enjoy the park. Every day without fail. Sitting in heavy rain, falling snow, scorching heat, and wild winds. Why? What compels her to be here ...every.single.day?!
If I were to hazard a guess… my guess would be… this is her place, her spot, her everything. Perhaps she has no friends, no family…and these are her loved ones now. They have become her purpose, her passion, her life.
I have often asked myself, is she here by choice or as a consequence of life decisions? Either way, she looks calm, content, happy, and possibly even free.
READ MORE
The old woman has become entangled in my daily park routine. On the days I do not come to the park, I know that she is here feeding the birds, her birds, from what appears to be an ancient, wrinkled, brown paper bag.
I have never spoken nor interrupted her. She looks approachable enough, yet something always stops me. I am an outsider. If I were to intrude into her circle, I fear I would scatter her flocked and furry friends. I refuse to cut in on the lively dance I see before me.
Some days I dread entering the park for fear of seeing an empty bench and the old woman no longer there.
But for today, she is, and my heart is happy.

“Going through Scribbly was like meeting a version of myself who has been dormant for decades.”
Wow! Going through Scribbly for the first time was like meeting a version of myself who has been dormant for decades. This exercise in creative writing opened up portals in my soul! Scribbly isn't a task to do, it's a chance to have fun with words, thoughts, ideas, feelings, and even art!

well, hello. i'm
My Writing life
I worked for two of Canada's largest television networks for fifteen years before launching my own international sales training company. I wrote piles of articles, ezines & two quirky business books that attracted a ton of media, readers and business. Personal essays about life are my love so I took ten years of writing classes, read 100 writing books and wrote daily. In 2016 I received a breast cancer diagnosis. After a year of treatment (and good-bye cancer!), I wrote A Fine Mess, found a publisher, and it's an Amazon best-seller! I blew up my 18 year old company and redirected my passion to writing, and helping women write.
I'm a full-time writer, author, essayist; my work has been featured on NBC News, the Globe and Mail; and I'm a top writer for Medium.com.
but it wasn't always this way.
My Scribbly program is the only one of its kind because...
I mail It right to your home every 30 days.
I don't know about you but I'm sick of doing everything online. Writing is soulful and it's too easy to let your internal editor have control when you write on a screen all the time.
Scribbly helps you slow down. We mail it to your home every 30 days and once you open and read it? You'll want to start writing! (Hopefully with a cup of tea. Scribbly encourages cake crumbs too.)
You write for fun but learn at the same time. You also get to send me your best writing because...
All writers secretly want a reader.
When you're a Scribbly member, you have the opportunity to send me some of your Scribbly writing.
Unfortunately, we can’t use all the submissions we receive. We choose 2-3 for future publication in Scribbly and/or my website. *No guarantees you'll be published and no critique or compensation is provided.
We may edit/shorten your submissions, but we’ll contact you prior to use and give you the opportunity to approve our editorial changes prior to publication. All submissions become the property of KimDukeWrites.com
Scribbly includes everything you need to start writing!
Remember - Scribbly can only take you so far. You have to apply what you learn and commit time to writing when it arrives in your mailbox. Once you've written something you're proud of - submit it and we may *publish it in a future issue of Scribbly - or here on my site!
*No guarantees you'll be published and no critique or compensation is provided.
