Fiction Writing Made Easy with Savannah Gilbo | How to Write a Novel & Writing Advice · #259. How to Finish a Novel With Kids at Home & Limited Writing Time · 4 Aug 2026 podcast

So, for example, say that you wrote a scene and maybe life got in the way, right? podcast-host

You have to run for a kid's doctor appointment or somebody needs you, whatever it is. podcast-host

You could just jot yourself a little note that says something like, continue writing the argument between Jack and his mother. podcast-host

He's just about to admit that he knew about the letter she sent. podcast-host

Something like that. podcast-host

Or you could leave a note that says, She's about to enter the office intending to resign, but podcast-host

She finds the missing photograph on his desk or something. podcast-host

Right. podcast-host

So just kind of write down where your thoughts are when you're about to leave your desk for the day. podcast-host

And then think about how these kind of two sides of the equation work together. podcast-host

So you have a roadmap that reminds you where your story's going so that you can sit down and just kind of pick up the pen or start typing and start writing. podcast-host

And then also breadcrumb notes to remind you exactly where you've. podcast-host

left off and where to pick back up. podcast-host

And if you use both of these little micro tips together, then they'll allow you or help you to spend more of your limited writing time actually bringing the story to life on the page instead of reconstructing where you were and what you're meant to do next. podcast-host

All right, so the key takeaway for tip number one is that if you have some kind of roadmap that always holds the big picture shape of your story or where your story's headed, then you podcast-host

Can spend more of the limited writing time that you have actually moving your story forward when you sit down to write. podcast-host

And this leads us straight into tip number two because once you know what you're working on, the next shift or the next tip gets a whole lot easier to believe. podcast-host

So tip number two is to stop waiting for long writing sessions. podcast-host

And what I mean by that is that there's this sneaky belief that almost every writer. podcast-host

absorbs without even noticing. podcast-host
