Join the conversation at The Slow Novel Lab Instagram ! Subscribe to Letters from Nina for more writing tips, book news, and to hear when The Slow Novel Lab opens for enrollment! Read Jocelyn K. Glei's blog post, " How to Feel Progress ." Highlights: · Our goals have to be things we make happen for ourselves—not things we wait to be given. · Overwhelm is a powerful opponent of productivity—but if you’re clear-eyed in your priorities you should be able to fend it off. · Write yourself a new script—one that tells you what you secretly know: That you can do this. · Speak to yourself as you would a friend. Today is a new day. Today can be the day you write. · Writing is a practice. The more you do it, the better you’ll become at getting words on the page. · I want to see myself moving forward in a way that tracking words or page count is not going to give me. · Your work is a gift from you to yourself. Even when it’s messy, even when it’s not yet nearly what you want it to become.…
