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 youâre walking is one that Iâm familiar with, and I want to extract every ounce of wisdom, perspective, and commiseration from my own experience as a writer to help you. Letâs 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 sheâs supposed to, but itâs not producing the results she wants. Sheâs 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. Letâs 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. Sheâs not sure if sheâs 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 Iâm going to dive into what âgood writingâ really is and highlight elements of good writing that I look for in the manuscripts I read. Letâs 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 doesnât know or canât remember what it can feel like to be a writer. Today Iâm going into whatâs going on in your mind and in your heart as you try to write but canât. The more Iâve resurrected my writing life, the more Iâve realized that this goes so much deeper than the words you put on the page. Letâs get into it.

This episode is for the writer who feels lost. She wants to be a writer, but doesnât 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 writerâs block is a completely different beast; writerâs block touches how you see yourself and your writing and affects the root of how you show up to your writing. Itâs time to talk about it. Letâs go.

This episode is for the writer who is feeling stuck but not blocked. She knows why sheâs writing and why her story matters, but she keeps putting off writing because she doesnât know what to write. This isnât as deep as writerâs block but no less frustrating. In todayâs 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 storyâbut she doesnât 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. Letâs get into it.

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.
