Ep 048: How to pick back up with your book when it's been a while...


Listen Later

Has it been a while?

You know the feeling… you got off to a great start with your book (thinking smug is the word here amiright?) but then… well life just got in the way.

 

And now it’s been an age since you wrote a word. But don’t panic; you are not alone my friend.

There’s one thing most writers have in common — the occasional bout with writer’s block. You know what I’m talking about. It’s that feeling of knowing you really should sit down and write, but no matter how hard you try you just can’t bring yourself to do it.

 

‘Writer’s block’ is an easy, two-word explanation as to why everything else has taken priority over putting words down on a page. But the truth is that why you’re not writing isn’t quite that simple. 

 

You see, there is something underneath that label that is what you’re allowing to hold you back. (And yes, you’re allowing it because it is a choice.) It’s not just about not feeling like it or struggling to find the words to write, because I assure you that when you’re not writing, there’s a reason.

 

On this episode of The AUTHORity Show, we’ll talk about some practical ways you can amp yourself up to write again, but that’s just a start. We’re going to dive even deeper to help you uncover the real reason you’re avoiding writing.

 

Because once you can identify what’s been holding you back, you not only have the ability to get your mojo back, but you’ve got the power to keep it.

 

Tune in, then come back and see me on IG @jessicakillingley when you’re done.  I want to know what's been holding you back, and what you plan to do to overcome it.
