Beyond The Red House

Why You Keep Deleting Your Manuscript (And How to Stop)


Listen Later

Have you deleted your manuscript five times? Started your memoir with so much hope, only to stop not because you ran out of things to say, but because you ran out of emotional capacity to keep going?

In this episode, I share why this keeps happening and, more importantly, how to stop the cycle.


In this episode:

∙Why I spent 10 years stuck in a delete-and-restart loop with my memoir

∙The real reason trauma authors burn out (hint: it’s not the writing it’s the lack of structure)

∙Why “just write from the heart” advice doesn’t work for trauma survivors

∙How The Safety Structure prevents emotional overwhelm and helps you finish your book in 90 days

The difference between writing without a map vs. writing with intentional boundaries

Resources mentioned:

∙My memoir: I Was Once The Girl In The Red House
