from The Writing Mom Podcast · host Josee Smith

Ep 50: 5 Truths About Writing a Novel as a Busy Mom (After 50 Episodes of the Podcast)We made it to 50 episodes of The Writing Mom Podcast! 🎉 And instead of just celebrating this milestone, I wanted to use this episode to share the five biggest truths I’ve learned about writing novels as a busy mom, from my own writing life, from coaching clients, and from having these conversations week after week.In this episode, we’re talking about why you probably don’t need more time (you need a smaller next step), why perfect writing conditions are a myth, and why your identity as a writer matters more than your routine ever will. I’m also sharing the difference between motivation and decision-making, how motherhood changed the way I approach my writing, and why trying to do this dream completely alone often keeps writers stuck for years.This episode is part encouragement, part reality check, and part roadmap for the mom who still wants to finish her novel... even if life looks nothing like she expected.If you take one thing away from these 50 episodes, let it be this: your writing is still possible. It just might not look the way you thought it would. Book a free consultation call: https://calendly.com/joseesmith/book
