    275. The Mid-Draft Slump: How to Believe in Your Book Again

    You started your book on fire. Now you sit down to write and feel blank. Or worse, you've started to feel disenchanted by your own story. If you've hit the mid-draft slump and started wondering whether your story is good enough, or whether you are, this episode is for you. In this episode, I break down why writers lose faith in their books mid-draft, and why the problem is almost never the story itself. You'll learn the three shifts that will get you back in the room with your work.  This isn't a pep talk. It's a reorientation — one that puts you back in control of the one thing that was always yours: your experience of writing this book.

    274. 3 Mistakes I See In Almost Every First Draft

    If your first draft feels like it's wandering — like you're generating pages but not quite writing a story — this episode is for you. After coaching and editing hundreds of first-time novelists and memoir writers, I keep seeing the same three mistakes show up in draft after draft. Not because these writers aren't talented. But because first drafts are hard, and most of us don't know what we don't know until someone points it out. The frustrating thing about these mistakes? They're invisible from the inside. The draft looks like it's working. Pages are accumulating. But something feels off, and you can't put your finger on it. In this episode, I'm naming all three — and telling you exactly what to do instead. Episode Web Page Most first drafts don't stall because writing is hard.

    273. Why Writers Quit (And Why You Shouldn't)

    Every writer hits a wall mid-project. The draft isn't working, the rejections are stacking up, and quitting starts to feel like the logical choice. But quitting isn't protecting you from failure. It's guaranteeing it. In this episode, I break down  down three truths about setbacks that every writer needs to hear, and why the writers who finish are the ones who learn to use failure as fuel.

    #272: Why Your Story Dies in the Middle (And the One Thing That Brings It Back to Life)

    Every writer knows the feeling. Your story is on fire, you're excited about what's on the page. Then somewhere in the middle, something dies. The excitement fades. The scenes stop feeling alive. And no matter how many times you reread or rework your outline, the flatness doesn't go away. Most writers think something is wrong with them when this happens. It isn't. There's one specific thing missing from your story -  and once you find it, everything changes. In this episode I reveal the one thing missing from most stories that keeps your draft moving, your characters compelling, and your readers invested all the way to the end.

    #270: Why Writing Feels Harder Than It Has To

    Most writers assume the struggle is just part of the deal. That if it feels hard, they must be doing something wrong, or not working hard enough, or not talented enough. What if none of that is true? This episode will change the way you think about every writing session from here on out. Episode Web Page Most first drafts don't stall because writing is hard.

    #269: How to Write Backstory Without Killing Momentum

    Backstory creates a dilemma: you need to give readers context about the past, but the moment you stop your forward-moving plot to explain it, you lose them. This episode shows you how to integrate backstory in ways that deepen your story instead of stopping it cold. Episode Web Page Most first drafts don't stall because writing is hard.
