    80 - Reaching THE END of The First Draft

    In this episode I’m sharing the experience of seeing the light at the end of the first draft tunnel and writing those last 20,000 words to reach The End.   It was a relief, an “oh my gosh, I’m almost there!” moment. I braced myself. I still had to keep doing exactly what I’d already done for almost two years and 130,000 words.   It got closer. And yet, I still had to show up and write 1000 words each day, letting the days pass and the words add up. It became bittersweet. I didn’t want it to end.  And then, inevitably, I wrote the last words.  Thank you so much for listening. I would love to know what you thought of the episode, what it brought up for you, and what it helped you with. Send me a message over on Instagram @kerryn.trisha.  If you would like to support the podcast the easiest way is to share this or any episode on Instagram (tag me so I can share too!), send an episode to a friend, or recommend the podcast to your community.  You can also donate to support the show here.   If you’re looking for more writing support you’re welcome to message me on Instagram @kerryn.trisha or email me at kerryn@kerryntrisha.com to share what you’re looking for.  There is information about my WRITING COACHING and BOOK EDITING on my website, www.kerryntrisha.com.   That’s also where you can sign up for my FREE WRITING WORKSHOP and send me chapters from your work-in-progress for a FREE CHAPTER REVIEW and sample edit.  FREE WRITING WORKSHOP  From Idea to Flow: How to Start & Keep Writing Your Book is an inspiring and practical online, on demand workshop that speaks to writing habits, just enough structure, doing it your way, inner critic, writer’s block, and sharing your story with detail and emotion.  FREE CHAPTER REVIEW & SAMPLE EDIT  You’re welcome to send me three chapters from your work-in-progress for a free chapter review and sample edit.

    79 - The Rhythm of The Creative Process

    Not the A to Z, linear process you’ve been taught. We still have a beginning, middle, and an end, but we also have a break after the end. That makes the four seasons of the creative process that we’re more familiar with as Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. Our creative energy follows the same cycles and rhythm of the seasons. Learn how to recognise where you are in the creative process and how to support yourself through all of the ups and downs using these seasonal rhythms.  Welcome to The Creative Midwife Show! I’m your host, Kerryn Trisha, creative midwife, organiser of ideas, writer, editor, and writing coach.

It can feel overwhelming at times—like you’re navigating a maze of ideas, emotions, and self-doubt all on your own.   You don’t have to do it on your own. You might want a pep talk and some problem solving to get you back in your writing rhythm, someone to walk alongside and support you as you navigate writing your book, or an editor to polish and present your ideas exactly how you always envisioned. I can help.  Your book can feel inspiring, joyful, and empowering for you throughout the creation process as well as for your readers when it’s their turn to experience it.   Learn more about my writing coaching and editing services here: https://buymeacoffee.com/kerryntrisha/looking-editor-writing-coach

    75 - Get Unstuck: Clear Those Sneaky Expectations

    A passing thought can become a sneaky expectation that creates emotional turmoil, friction, stress, and that feeling of being stuck. Let alone if you’ve intentionally created a fully-fledged plan and become consciously attached to those expectations, to things working out a certain way. I share how I’ve cleared these sneaky expectations to get back in flow in writing my book, creating this podcast, and in my daily routine.  Welcome to The Creative Midwife Show!

    74 - Excitement After an Unplanned Hiatus From Writing

    Trusting that I would have time to write over the past two months of summer holidays with the family turned into just two frustrating writing sessions. Instead, I took an unintentional hiatus and the Universe taught me how to honour the tension and build the excitement for when I could get back to my creative work. How long we think our book will take to write is so often a made up, sneaky expectation that doesn’t reflect the incredible growth journey we’ve been invited on.  Welcome to The Creative Midwife Show!
