Welcome back to Dropped In!

I am beyond stoked to welcome back our very special guest, Marsha Vanwhynsberg, with you today!

In this episode, I get really real and raw with you! I share with you the behind the scenes of my current feelings and experiences that I'm feeling in resisting writing my damn book.

Writing a book can be incredibly daunting, and it's not uncommon for writers to face self-doubt and resistance. 

In today's episode, we'll explore some practical strategies to help you overcome these challenges and progress on writing your damn book.

Self-doubt and resistance are common roadblocks for many writers. It's that nagging voice in your head that tells you your writing isn't good enough or that no one will be interested in your story. But here's the thing: every writer, even the most successful ones, has experienced self-doubt at some point. It's a natural part of the creative process.

In this conversation, we discuss techniques such as surrounding yourself with a supportive writing community and utilizing resistance as a signpost. 

Procrastination is another common obstacle that writers face. It's easy to get caught up in distractions or find excuses to avoid writing. But if you want to finish your damn book, you must tackle procrastination head-on.

Marsha shares expert tips on creating a writing routine, setting achievable outcomes, and eliminating distractions. Our goal is to help you establish a writing habit that will keep you motivated and productive. 

Writing can be a solitary endeavour, but that doesn't mean you must go through it alone. We'll discuss the importance of joining a mastermind to keep you on track and provide support when you need it most.

We'll wrap up the episode by providing actionable steps to implement immediately. These steps will help you overcome self-doubt, conquer procrastination, and progress significantly on writing your damn book.
