Ep 61: What to Do When You Don't Know What Happens Next

from The Writing Mom Podcast · host Josee Smith

Have you ever sat down to write your novel only to realize you have absolutely no idea what happens next? If so, you're not alone. Getting stuck is one of the most common challenges writers face, and contrary to what you might think, it doesn't mean your idea is bad or that you're not cut out to write a book.In this episode, we're talking about how to move forward when you're feeling stuck, including the questions I use with coaching clients to unlock new possibilities, why waiting for the perfect answer often keeps you stalled, and how focusing on the next scene can help you regain momentum. Finishing a novel isn't about having everything figured out; it's about learning how to keep moving when you don't.I'm currently on maternity leave, but I'm building a waitlist for future coaching clients.
