Ep 66: Stop Pressuring Yourself to Write (and Build Desire Instead)

What if pressure isn’t actually the best way to get yourself to write? In this episode, I’m sharing what I’ve been learning postpartum about the difference between using deadlines, guilt, and urgency to force myself forward - and intentionally building genuine desire for the work instead.We’ll talk about how I’m reframing my preorder deadline, why starting with just five minutes helped me want to keep going, and how to tell the difference between honoring your capacity and avoiding something uncomfortable. You don’t have to wait until you feel inspired, but you also don’t have to bully yourself into finishing your novel.I'm currently on maternity leave, but I'm building a waitlist for future coaching clients.
