Ep 63: Why You're Waiting to Feel Ready to Write Your Novel (And What to Do Instead)

from The Writing Mom Podcast · host Josee Smith

Have you been waiting for the perfect time to start your novel? Maybe you're hoping life will settle down, your confidence will grow, or you'll finally feel "ready." If so, you're not alone, but waiting for readiness may be the very thing keeping you stuck.In this episode, we're talking about why so many moms postpone their writing dreams, what readiness actually looks like, and why confidence comes from taking action, not waiting for it. If you've been telling yourself "I'll start someday," I hope this conversation gives you the courage to make today that day.I'm currently on maternity leave, but I'm building a waitlist for future coaching clients.
