If you’ve ever promised yourself, “This week, I’m finally going to start writing,” only to watch seven days slip by in a blur of life, laundry, and lost time… this one’s for you.

Let’s be honest: it’s not that you don’t want to write. It’s that life refuses to give you those mythical uninterrupted hours we imagine “real writers” have.

But what if you didn’t need them?

What if 20 minutes a day could change your writing life?

That’s the heart of this week’s episode of the Making Memoir Magic Podcast:🎧 “The Power of 20 Minutes.

In this episode, I break down:1. Exactly how to implement a 20-minute daily writing ritual.2. Why short, consistent sessions build more momentum than long, sporadic ones.3. How to make writing feel like a gift, not a grind.

Here’s the truth: waiting for hours of peace and inspiration is a trap.The writers who finish their books? They don’t wait for ideal conditions.They create tiny pockets of time, and they fiercely protect them.

Twenty minutes is long enough to build a scene, capture a memory, or sketch an outline. It’s short enough that you’ll actually do it. And, it’s powerful enough to turn your dream of writing a memoir into a habit that lasts.

So grab your favorite notebook, pour something warm, and set a timer for 20.Start small. Stay steady. Watch how showing up for yourself changes everything.
