Ep 40: How to Finally Make Progress on Your Novel (Without Overwhelm)

from The Writing Mom Podcast · host Josee Smith

If you’ve ever told yourself, “I just don’t have time to write,” this episode is for you.Today, I’m giving you a peek behind the curtain into my coaching process and sharing what I’ve learned from working with busy moms who want to write, but feel stuck. Often, it’s not actually a time problem. It’s an overwhelm problem. Writing a novel feels huge and undefined, so your brain doesn’t know where to start… and nothing happens.In this episode, I walk you through how we turn “write a book” into small, concrete steps that actually fit into real life, and how finding tiny pockets of time that already exist can make steady progress possible. Finishing a novel isn’t about having more hours. It’s about knowing what your next brick is.If this resonated, this is exactly the kind of work I do with my clients.
