Discover the secret to overcoming perfectionism.

We want to put our best words out into the world, but when we slow down to “get it just right,” we often grind to a halt. Progress becomes stagnation, and it’s hard to get moving again. In this episode, host Clarissa Moll offers a jolt of encouragement to help you make progress in your writing life through the everyday disciplines of habit-forming and planning. Special guest, New York Times bestselling author Joy McCullough, tells her story of slow progress and shares her secret to keeping worries about rejection at bay.
