Ep 18: How to Write When You’re Exhausted

from The Writing Mom Podcast · host Josee Smith

Most moms are writing tired. If you wait until you’re well-rested, your novel will never get written.In this episode, I share practical ways to keep writing even when your energy is low. From micro-commitments (like one sentence or five minutes) to reframing what progress really looks like, you’ll hear how small, messy steps still build momentum. I’ll also talk about how I drafted a novel in three months by starting with short, doable sessions and slowly building up consistency.If you’ve ever thought, “My brain doesn’t work when I’m tired,” I’ll help you see that tired writing still counts, and that it’s proof of resilience, not failure.Join my upcoming workshop on November 8, Finally Write Your Novel: Build a Creative Practice That Sticks (Even as a Busy Mom!).
