It doesn't mean that you don't want it badly enough. podcast-host

It just means that your life is busy and that your life has seasons, okay? podcast-host

So writing through the busyness and through those seasons. podcast-host

seasons might look like three mornings one week and then just one morning the next. podcast-host

It might mean writing more during the school year than you do over the summer. podcast-host

And it might even mean stepping away during a genuinely hard month and then picking the story back up when you have more capacity. podcast-host

All right, so I would like to offer you a new way to think about consistency. podcast-host

And that isn't always some version of I always follow the plan exactly as I've laid out podcast-host

the plan because you know for most of us that isn't going to happen. podcast-host

And I'd like to suggest thinking about consistency more like I keep coming back to my writing. podcast-host

I keep coming back to my desk despite how busy things are, despite everything else that's going on. podcast-host

Okay, so just a little mindset shift there that can sometimes help take the pressure off. podcast-host

And I also think it's worth mentioning that coming back is the hard part sometimes, right? podcast-host

A lot podcast-host

Of writers will have a temporary interruption and it will turn into some kind of permanent verdict. podcast-host

So they miss a week and then they've decided that they've ruined their whole routine and it gets even harder to return because we feel guilty or you feel like a failure or however that manifests for you. podcast-host

And then the longer you stay away, the bigger that return starts to feel, and the more pressure we put on ourselves, right? podcast-host

So when this happens to me, I like to say, don't make coming podcast-host

back a big event. podcast-host

I tell this to my clients and students too. podcast-host
