Ep 29: Behind The Scenes Of Writing My 7th Book!

from The Writing Mom Podcast · host Josee Smith

This week I’m giving you a peek behind the curtain of my brand-new cozy mystery — not just what the book is about, but what it meant to write a novel across early motherhood, step away from it for years, and finally return to finish it.I’m sharing how this story began, why becoming a mom shifted my creative direction, how I rediscovered the pull of these characters, and what it was really like to refine a book I drafted before my son was born. You’ll hear about letting go of deadlines, trusting slow progress, and following your creativity even when it takes unexpected detours.If you’re a mom who worries that stepping away means you’ll never finish your book, I hope this episode shows you what’s possible when you listen to your creative instincts — and come back when you’re ready.Ready for support finishing your novel?
