156: Write Your Manuscript

from The Keep Writing Podcast Hosted by Nika Maples

"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." -Galatians 6:9 Finding motivation to write can feel almost impossible at times, especially when you feel like you’re falling behind. Remember that writing is just like running a race. It takes endurance and perseverance to make it across the finish line. You may feel like giving up many times along the way, but just imagine how sweet victory will feel once you’ve accomplished your goal! The water always tastes much sweeter after the race is over rather than during it. In today’s episode, Nika shares all about the ups and downs of actually sitting down to write that manuscript and what to do when you’ve lost the motivation to write. She also discusses the difference between writing from willpower and writing from wishpower. While willpower stems from self-punishment and takes away joy, wishpower stems from desire and gives joy. Finally, you’ll learn Nika’s top three steps for writing a manuscript, her favorite method for creating new habits, and how to find your joy of writing once again!
