Listen Later

During this episode of Diving into Writing, Lucinda shares with us how she got back into her daily writing habit after a two-year break from it.  

Here’s what came up during the episode:

  • Lucinda explains how she started with a small goal and increased it until she hit her actual goal – an hour of writing every day
  • Lucinda shares how she got back into the series she’s been working on for the past two years
  • That writing long-hand makes it that much easier for Lucinda to hit her daily target
  • How it was embracing the mess that is writing a novel that allowed her to return AND fall back in love with the craft 
  • How going about her goals without imposing restrictions made it easier, not harder, for Lucinda to achieve her goal 

    • Mariëlle’s upcoming Kickstarter campaign for the expanded anniversary edition of Tarot for Creatives goes live on 10 September. You can follow it here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mswordsmith/tarotforcreatives?ref=64lrku
