This episode is for the writer who wants to feel connected, who wants to be led by someone who knows her journey. Before I was an editor, I was a writer (and before that I was a reader!). The path you’re walking is one that I’m familiar with, and I want to extract every ounce of wisdom, perspective, and commiseration from my own experience as a writer to help you. Let’s get into it.

This episode is for the writer who feels a disconnect between what she wants and how she feels. She wants to be a writer, but she has a hard time feeling like one. She tries to do the things she thinks she’s supposed to, but it’s not producing the results she wants. She’s still not writing regularly and not adding to her word count. This episode will help you tap deeper into who you actually are as a writer so that you can create both the manuscript and the writing life you desire. Let’s go.

This is for the writer who believes that memoir writing is hard. She feels overwhelmed, and that weight has started to take the joy out of writing. She’s not sure if she’s any good, which makes it hard to have fun when she does show up. This writer wants to love writing and love what she writes. Today I’m going to dive into what “good writing” really is and highlight elements of good writing that I look for in the manuscripts I read. Let’s get into it.

This episode is for the writer who has a hard time remembering what it feels like to love what she does, who either doesn’t know or can’t remember what it can feel like to be a writer. Today I’m going into what’s going on in your mind and in your heart as you try to write but can’t. The more I’ve resurrected my writing life, the more I’ve realized that this goes so much deeper than the words you put on the page. Let’s get into it.

This episode is for the writer who feels lost. She wants to be a writer, but doesn’t feel like one. In fact, feeling like a writer feels wildly far away. Last week, in episode 39, we talked about what I call inspiration paralysis: a more surface-level block having to do more with writing processes, rhythms, and discipline. But writer’s block is a completely different beast; writer’s block touches how you see yourself and your writing and affects the root of how you show up to your writing. It’s time to talk about it. Let’s go.

This episode is for the writer who is feeling stuck but not blocked. She knows why she’s writing and why her story matters, but she keeps putting off writing because she doesn’t know what to write. This isn’t as deep as writer’s block but no less frustrating. In today’s episode I want to help you reframe inspiration and the role it plays in the writing process and the writing life.

This episode is for the writer who wants to feel like a writer. She wants to create and write and really tap into the message of her story—but she doesn’t know how, because life keeps getting in the way. That desire to write and create, though? That goes soul deep. The trick comes into cultivating a creative life, one where creativity and writing is woven effortlessly throughout your day. I have three ways you can start to integrate this today, right now. Let’s get into it.

This episode is for the writer who needs some mental reframes (whether or not they recognize it). Writing is so much more of a mental game than many people realize and knowing what those mindset roadblocks are and how to navigate them will set you up for success and resilience.

This episode is for the writer who wants to write smarter, not harder. We are continuing this conversation about how to amplify your writing time and energy, and this week I have three pillars of amplification for you to take and implement into your writing life right now. Why spend time figuring out all the things on your own, when you could learn how to work with your brain, with your support system, and with other writers like you so that you can make the most of every single writing session. All of these pillars feed wonderfully into my memoir fundamentals course, North Star. You don't have to do this alone, writer.

This episode is for the writer whose creativity is off-kilter, who has fallen out of their groove and wants to find a way to get back to what they love. I share a bit about what’s been going on behind the scenes for me and how my first writing session went after being sick for a few weeks. I also share my secret to how I outlined seven essays in less than an hour (😱) and what can expect coming out of Bookish Edits this spring!

More than anything though, this episode is for the writer who wants validation. You want to know if your story really matters.
