In this episode, Elizabeth and I talk about how to regain perspective when life throws you curve balls. It all started with Spring Break with our kiddos and some unexpected life events that made it feel like progress on our writing was slow. But, we discuss different ways we've found to reframe our experiences and focus them towards our writing. There's a lot that can be pulled from life into your writing. We also discuss the huge benefits of journaling to stay on track. Even if that's the only writing you get done in a day, it's still writing and you never know what nuggets of wisdom can make their way into your manuscript.

 Welcome to the Inspired Writer Collective podcast. If you've ever felt the pull to write your truth, to shape the chaos of real life into something meaningful and to share your journey with the world, you're in the right place. We're your hosts, Elizabeth and Stephanie, writers, coaches, and entrepreneurs who believe in you and know how important it is to find a writing community to guide you on your path to self-publishing.
