Are you in a writing slump?

If your writing has been pushed aside for the past three months simply because you've been wanting to enjoy all that summer offers, there's no shame in that. 

But now it's time to return to what God has called you to do and pick up that pen again. There's kingdom work to be done!

To help you, I've put together 3 tips to get you out of your writing slump and back into a productive writing routine. That's what I'm going to share with you on today's episode of the Ink & Impact podcast.

And, of course, you can also hop on a coaching call with me to receive a custom action plan with the exact next steps you need to take in your author journey. 

The writing, self-publishing, and marketing information I share here on the podcast is useful for every nonfiction writer, but exactly how it should be applied is nuanced and different for each person. 

• If you feel as though you've been following every step correctly but still aren't seeing the results you want, or 
• if you're confused and struggling to understand a concept, or 
• if you simply don't know WHAT you should be doing right now, 

be sure to book a 1-hour, 1:1 coaching call with me.
