Hey! Thanks so much for listening to Project Perseverance–I’m Molly Ovenden. As a creative writing coach, I work with writers every day who are committed to pressing on through the messy middle of book writing and learning how to share their words consistently even when the going gets tough all around them. I know first hand about doubts, indecision, comparison and imposter syndrome.

The “YES!” to today’s shiny, easy excitement becomes dull tomorrow when the newness wears off, when an unforeseen challenge arises, and when doubts and negativity creep in.

This is why we need people in our lives to speak truth, refocus our perspective, and cheer us on.

Each episode features a variety of perseverance thoughts, lessons, motivations, and encouragement from me as your host and an ever-changing panel of perseverance expert guests.
