Why is it so hard to make time to write? With good intentions, we set out to create a regular rhythm, only to get distracted or discouraged, and it fades away.

If you struggle to write regularly, it's probably because you haven't discovered the secret to forming a lasting habit. No shame一it's easier said than done.

Today's guest, Justin Whitmel Earley, is uniquely qualified to help us. Professionally, Justin is the author of three incredible books, which he managed to write while working as a full-time corporate lawyer. Personally, he's a husband, popular speaker, and father to three boys. Needless to say, he's overqualified to instruct us how to cultivate the writing life in the midst of life's chaos.

Justin shares with Will Parker Anderson about the following:

How to make time to write, even when it feels impossible
3 key strategies that will improve your craft
Why risk is crucial to the writing life

By the end of this episode, you will have practical steps to help you write more regularly. Away with good intentions (and the guilt we feel when we flake on them).

Together, let's learn to steward our craft in a way that's life-giving, even when our schedules feel maxed out.
