S3 Ep99: How to Stay Obsessed With Your Book

Listen Later
Writing a book is a long game. There will be highs, lows and a few “why did I even start this?” days.

But if you want to actually finish the thing (and enjoy the process a little more), there’s one thing that makes all the difference: your energy.

In this episode, I’m talking about the power of being obsessed with your book — not in a tattoo-the-title-on-your-arm kind of way — but in a grounded, focused, I actually want to write this kind of way.

In this episode, we explore:

  • Why your energy literally shows up in your writing (and how readers can feel it)

  • The neuroscience behind energy, focus and getting your book finished

  • How to choose the right idea to stay emotionally connected to

  • The big mindset shift that helped me pivot book #8 — and finally enjoy writing again

  • Practical rituals, playlists and mood-boosting tricks to get back in the zone

  • Why writing with other people (and not in isolation) is so important
    • Whether you’re in the messy middle of your manuscript or still flirting with the idea of writing one, this episode is here to help you rekindle your spark — and maybe even fall back in love with your book a bit.

    I hope you enjoy listening.
