This episode is for the writer who finally carved out a two-hour block to write. You have your tea, you have your candle. The door to your office is closed, and you’ve put on your noise-cancelling headphone. Then you open up your memoir document, and you brace yourself. You scroll a bit, you tweak here and there, uncertain of where to really dive in. You add a comment that says in all caps REVISIT LATER. Then, even though you promised yourself you wouldn’t, you open up Instagram—but just for that saved post, right? And then before you know it, it’s time to make dinner. If any of that felt even a little familiar, you’re going to eat this episode up. Today I’m walking you through the six creative patterns I see occur most often with memoir writers and I’ll give you the antidote for each one. Let’s go.
