Noteworthy quote from this episode:
“When we are constantly functioning in fight-or-flight, we can't even sit down to take a deep breath, to calm our minds, to even read a book, to get engrossed in a book, and to get engrossed in somebody else's fairy tale. Then, we are to sit and be creative on our own and sit down and start writing our damn book?”

Welcome back to The Rebel Maker Podcast. In this episode, we’re diving into what writing flow works for you.

For some people, if they carve out space in their calendar for writing and have a structure around it they can be very productive and write a lot. However, this just doesn’t work for others (like me) who only write when they have a clear mind and are inspired.

Which one are you?

Tune in to learn more about the inspired writing side of things.

In this episode:

• [01:56] The importance of a clear mind for creating
• [03:47] Finding out when you’re most productive 
• [05:24] Writing from a place of inspired creativity
• [08:49] Any progress is good progress
• [10:55] Inspired creativity over consistency and obligation
• [14:28] What to do when neither structured writing nor inspired writing are working for you
• [17:21] Your opportunity to say yes first

Noteworthy quote from this episode:
“We have multiple hats. We fulfill multiple roles for a lot of different people in our lives. When we make ourselves available to so many things and so many people that we come last, it's hard to make ourselves available for us. It's hard to [...] clear your head and focus on the present to get your writing done. I am the same way.”
