I want to prove to you that writing a novel doesn't have to be overwhelming.
podcast-host
So each week I'll bring you a brand new episode with simple, actionable, and step-by-step strategies that you can implement in your writing right away.
podcast-host
So whether you're brand new to writing or more of a seasoned author looking to improve your craft, this podcast is for you.
podcast-host
So pick up a pen and let's get started.

Today.

We're talking about how to finish a novel when you're raising your kids and your writing time is limited, it's unpredictable, and it's frequently interrupted.
podcast-host
Because one of the hardest parts isn't simply finding the time to write.
podcast-host
It's that the time you do find might look nothing like you imagined and nothing like you see other people experiencing on Instagram.
podcast-host
For example, maybe you get 20 minutes while your child is at soccer practice, and then you get nothing.
podcast-host
For the next three weeks.
podcast-host
Maybe nap time ends much earlier than expected one day, or maybe you finally establish some kind of routine that works only to have a kid get sick, a school break that you need to worry about, or just a new season of family life that makes that routine impossible.
podcast-host
Now, when this keeps happening, it's very easy to conclude that your life is simply too unpredictable to support something as big and as demanding as writing a novel.
podcast-host
Novel, or that maybe you'll have to wait until this season passes before you can give it a real serious try.
podcast-host
But after more than a decade of coaching fiction writers, I've watched people finish novels in the middle of full, busy, and unpredictable lives.
podcast-host
Not because their schedules suddenly became perfect or had a little more wiggle room, mainly because they learned how to use the windows of time that they do have, they learned how to return to the story after an eruption.
podcast-host
And they learn to let small imperfect progress count.
podcast-host
And that's what the five tips in today's episode are designed to help you do.
podcast-host
None of them require you to turn every spare minute into writing time or pretend that raising kids isn't exhausting.
podcast-host
They're more about creating a flexible way of writing that can exist alongside the rest of your life.
podcast-host
And they're about helping you continue to move forward toward the end, even when that movement is slow.
