Welcome back to Alchemy for Authors!
In this solo episode I share my personal writing process, tips and tricks I use to get my books written, and how I possibly make things harder than they need to be.
Other topics I discuss include:
· How I navigate writing a book with ADHD.
· How to not be overwhelmed by the “shoulds”!
· Why hyper-focus is my super power but can take a while to kick into action.
· Why I both love and loath deadlines.
· The role of music in my writing process.
· Why I can’t write in the small moments and don’t write every day.
· Why it’s important to start with a pretty notebook.
· The importance I place on the word “something”.
· And my answer to the question: Are you still a writer when you’re not writing?
If you’re interested in other peoples’ writing processes, or feel like you’re doing it wrong, check out the often chaotic and quirky way I go about writing a book, and take comfort in the knowledge that there is no one way in being an author.
