Got writer's block and convinced it's because you lack talent? Think again! And I have the solution that'll change the way you approach your writing…
If you're struggling to finish your novel, I want you to know that your lack of progress has nothing to do with your capabilities or the quality of your ideas. In fact, it boils down to an imbalance of three essential things—or pillars of novel creation, if you will.
In this week's episode, I'm sharing what these three things are so you can overcome writing roadblocks and finish your novel in 2025.
These three things helped Jenny finish her draft in 6 months (after being stuck for 12 years) and gave Laura the confidence to move past self-doubt and finish her 83,000-word fantasy story.
Here’s what I talk about:
[03:43] Your secret roadmap to avoid the endless planning loop where you waste months (or even years) trying to make everything perfect.
[10:01] The most overlooked part of successfully writing a first draft, which many people ignore, and how to leverage it when self-doubt kicks in.
[15:36] The technical piece of the writing puzzle and why even beautiful prose won't help if the other two pieces aren't in place.
And so much more…
If you're ready to stop spinning your wheels and start making real progress on your story, grab your headphones, turn the volume up, and press play. This could be the writing breakthrough you've been waiting for.
