- I’m Learning to Trust the Process of Becoming a Writer
Announcement: Becoming A Writer podcast and newsletter is going on a six-month break. We'll meet again in April 2027.
E50 - I’m Learning to Trust the Process of Becoming a Writer
Episode Summary:
What does it really mean to trust the process when you’re pursuing a writing dream? In this episode, I explore this through the metaphor of a map and compass: the map shows me where I want to go, but the compass—the quieter voice of my own inner knowing—guides me through the route I cannot yet see.
I reflect on how detours, pauses, unexpected challenges, and even moments of doubt can shape us into the writers we need to become. Trusting the process isn’t passive waiting or blind faith. For me, it means developing self-belief, having faith in the journey, taking action in the direction that feels right, and staying connected to my love for writing—even when the outcome remains uncertain.
Key Points Discussed:
- Why our need for certainty is a natural response to uncertainty.
- The difference between following a predetermined map and listening to our inner compass.
- How detours and difficult seasons can develop the skills, perspective, and strength our dreams require.
- Why the treasure we’re pursuing can change as our relationship with it deepens.
- My formula for trusting the process: (Self-Belief + Faith + Action in the Right Direction) × Love.
Takeaways:
- Trust yourself: You don’t need to know exactly how you’ll get there to believe you can figure it out.
- Keep moving, but stay responsive: Pay attention to what your writing and life are showing you, and let that information shape your next step.
- Stay connected to the work itself: Outcomes matter, but love for the act of writing can sustain you when the destination remains unclear.

About Podcast -
Welcome to Becoming A Writer, where writing inspiration is served fresh in 20 minutes or less, every 4th Saturday.
One big lesson to learn as writers - it’s not just about publishing a book—it’s about becoming a writer who writes for life. There’s plenty of advice out there on how to write and publish, but not much about how to be a writer—how to love the process and grow into it. Once you figured that out, you will never stop writing.
This podcast is here to help you explore, experiment with, and express your writer self. Writing can be fun, fulfilling, and a lifelong joy—and your books deserve the writer you're meant to be.

14 min - I Realized I Didn’t Need to Learn More—I Needed to Become a Writer
E49 - I Realized I Didn’t Need to Learn More—I Needed to Become a Writer
Episode Summary:
For a long time, I thought becoming a better writer meant learning more. I read more books, studied more techniques, explored the business of writing—and somehow ended up feeling more like a beginner than ever. Eventually, I realised I had confused learning about writing with actually becoming a writer.
In this episode, I explore the shift from collecting knowledge to building a writer identity. Drawing on James Clear’s idea of identity-based habits, I talk about “casting votes” for the writer I want to become through small, meaningful acts of writing. The goal isn’t perfect consistency or productivity, but building trust in myself by repeatedly choosing the work.
Key Points Discussed:
- Why endless learning can leave writers feeling overwhelmed and inadequate.
- The difference between knowing about writing and identifying as a writer.
- How inner work shapes the transition into your ideal writer self.
- What it means to “cast votes” for your writer identity.
- How the question “What would my Ideal Writer Self do?” can guide difficult moments.
Takeaways:
- Choose the writer you want to become, then give yourself small pieces of evidence that you are already becoming her.
- Don’t turn writing into a test of consistency. Returning to the work after a break still counts.
- When you feel lost, ask what your Ideal Writer Self would do—and take the smallest sustainable step in that direction.

- Atomic Habits by James Clear

8 min - The Day I Finally Gave Myself Permission to Write
E48 - The Day I Finally Gave Myself Permission to Write
Episode Summary:
For years, I believed I had to become "ready" before I could call myself a writer. I kept searching for the perfect advice, the perfect process, and the perfect moment to begin. But all that learning became a way of postponing the one thing that would actually help me grow: writing. This episode is about the moment I stopped waiting for a future version of myself and finally gave myself permission to begin with the writer I already was.
I reflect on how much of our hesitation comes from believing we need to prove ourselves before our words are worthy. Whether it's waiting for more confidence, more knowledge, or external validation, those conditions keep moving further away. Real momentum begins when I stop measuring myself against someone else's path and start writing from where I am today, trusting that every honest page shapes the writer I'm becoming.
Key Points Discussed:
- How endless learning can quietly become a form of procrastination.
- Why permission to write matters more than permission from others.
- Letting go of unrealistic expectations about productivity and success.
- Finding writing ideas by paying attention to my present thoughts, memories, and emotions.
- Trusting that my writing voice develops through practice, not perfection.
Takeaways:
- Start with the writer I am today instead of waiting for the writer I hope to become.
- Build momentum by writing honestly and consistently, even if it's only one sentence.
- Let each page teach me what my unique writing process and voice truly are.

9 min - I Was Doing Everything Except Writing (And It Was Holding Me Back)
E47 - I Was Doing Everything Except Writing (And It Was Holding Me Back)
Episode Summary
In this episode, I reflect on my early attempt at building an audience through YouTube before becoming a writer. While the platform seemed like the logical path, I soon realized that creating videos drained my energy rather than fueling it. Through that experience, I discovered an important truth: I had become so distracted by everything surrounding Writing that I had stopped prioritizing the act of writing itself.
I share how returning to online writing through Medium and Substack helped me reconnect with my original dream of becoming a writer and taught me the importance of keeping the main thing the main thing.
Key Points Discussed
- Why building a YouTube channel felt misaligned despite good intentions.
- The difference between enjoying the message and enjoying the medium.
- How fear, overwhelm, and endless learning delayed my writing journey.
- The distinction between being a writer and being an author.
- Why writing should come before marketing, publishing, audience growth, and productivity systems.
- How prioritizing writing led to more ideas, greater creative energy, and a stronger connection to my work.
- The importance of treating writing like a real job rather than an optional activity.
Takeaways
- Your primary creative goal should guide your daily priorities.
- Supporting tasks are valuable, but they should never replace the actual work.
- Inspiration often appears after you begin, not before.
- Protect your best energy for the work that matters most.
- Identify what counts as writing for you and make it a non-negotiable priority.
- No amount of planning, marketing, or preparation can replace putting words on the page.
The main thing is to keep Writing the main thing.

13 min - What If Your Writing Isn't Unproductive — Just Misaligned?
E44 – What If Your Writing Isn't Unproductive — Just Misaligned?
Episode Summary:
In this episode, I reflect on a powerful insight I gained from the book How To Cultivate A Thriving Author Ecosystem by Russell Nohelty. The book outlines five different author archetypes—Desert, Grassland, Tundra, Forest, and Aquatic—and explains how each represents a distinct way writers naturally create, publish, and connect with their audience. I explore how understanding these ecosystems can help writers identify their natural tendencies and build a writing process that supports their strengths rather than fighting against them.
Through my own experience, I share the realization that I am a “Forest” writer who had been trying to operate like a “Desert.” This misalignment led to frustration, creative exhaustion, and difficulty keeping up with the fast-paced demands of modern online content creation. The episode encourages writers to step back from generic productivity advice and instead align their creative process with their true writing nature.
Key Points Discussed:
- The five author ecosystems: Desert, Grassland, Tundra, Forest, and Aquatic.
- How each ecosystem approaches writing, productivity, and audience building differently.
- Why the “Desert” model dominates online writing advice and content culture.
- My realization that I naturally writes like a Forest—focused on depth, resonance, and connection.
- The pressure of algorithms and online platforms to produce fast, high-frequency content.
- The contrast between fast-output writing models and slower, more reflective creative processes.
- The idea that productivity may feel difficult simply because a writer is working against their natural ecosystem.
Takeaways:
- Writing struggles may come from misalignment rather than lack of discipline or productivity.
- Identifying one’s natural writing ecosystem can bring clarity and creative peace.
- Not all writers thrive under the same pace, structure, or publishing model.
- Filtering writing advice through one’s own creative nature is essential for long-term sustainability.

11 min - Are You Planning Your Writing As If Life Won’t Interfere?
E43 - Are You Planning Your Writing As If Life Won’t Interfere?
Episode Summary:
In this deeply personal episode, I reflect on what happens when we plan our writing — and our lives — as if nothing will ever interfere. I entered 2025 with ambitious goals, only to watch every single one fall apart. Chronic health struggles, nervous system breakdown, unresolved trauma, and the long-term impact of living with PCOS forced me to confront a hard truth: I had been planning like a machine, not a human.
This episode questions hustle culture, productivity obsession, and the illusion of control. What if our plans worked with Life instead of against it?
Key Points Discussed:
- The illusion of invincibility in goal-setting
- How over-planning can dysregulate your nervous system
- PCOS, chronic stress, and the body as a messenger
- Why hustle culture ignores human transition time
- The hidden time costs between tasks (exercise example)
- How overbooking becomes a form of self-worth validation
- Healing before productivity
- Co-creating plans with Life instead of controlling it
Takeaways:
- Build buffer time into your schedule.
- Plan for transitions, not just tasks.
- Your health is not an inconvenience — it’s information.
- Discipline without compassion leads to burnout.
- Ambition doesn’t need self-punishment attached to it.
- Life’s interruptions may be redirections.
- Sustainable creativity requires nervous system safety.
Ask yourself: Are you planning as a machine — or as a living, breathing human?

12 min - Do You Regret Being A Writer?
E42 - Do You Regret Being A Writer?
Episode Summary:
In this reflective and deeply personal episode, Rubina revisits a decision she made in 2016—to step away from the expected path after college and pursue writing. As social media revives nostalgia for “simpler times,” she finds herself asking a question she recently voiced in therapy: Do I regret choosing to be a writer?
Her answer is clear: Absolutely not.
Although life didn’t unfold as she once imagined, writing became the one constant that helped her survive, heal, and slowly return to herself. This episode is an honest conversation for writers who feel behind, doubtful, or unsure if they made the right choice.
Key Points Discussed:
- The emotional pull of nostalgia and how it triggers self-questioning
- Choosing writing with hope, ambition, and rose-tinted expectations
- How depression and disillusionment shaped the early years
- Writing and reading as lifelines during emotional isolation
- Journaling as a long-term practice that led to self-awareness and clarity
- Writing as a safe space for vulnerability without judgment
- Choosing a less-trodden path and avoiding deeper misalignment
- Why writing became a way to uncover the real self beneath conditioning
Takeaways:
- Writing doesn’t have to look successful to be life-changing
- Sometimes the path that looks “nasty” is the one that leads you home
- Journaling can be a powerful tool for healing and self-discovery
- Doubt doesn’t mean you chose wrong—it may mean you’re growing
- Be kind to your past self and gentle with where you are now
- 2026 is a fresh invitation to choose yourself and your writing again
✨ This episode is for anyone wondering if choosing writing was a mistake—and discovering it may have been an act of survival instead.
