"If I could only just sit down, focus, and knock this out..."
How many times have you said this to yourself about your writing? I certainly have, far too many times. Since when do we want to "knock out" things that we love? Truth we want to share? Connections we want to make? When we start thinking about our writing like a job at a word factory, our connection with it suffers. We struggle to see the big picture of why we want to write it in the first place, and we develop an antagonistic relationship with it. This will happen for so many writers, often many times in their careers, but you don't have to get stuck there.
Do you have a plan for actually finishing your memoir? If not, we know you aren’t making the progress you hoped for. That’s why we developed The Memoir Method Checklist. This free guide (and video training!) will take you through every single step you need from idea to published marketable book. Grab it now at https://pageandpodium.com/checklist
