What do you do when you’re running out of steam and you’re only in the middle of the book? Or you’re just running out of steam in general?

This episode we share our suggestions for getting yourself re-energized and moving again.
Some topics we cover:

  • writing sprints
  • writing with others either in person or on zoom/skype
  • sexy times
  • add more conflict
  • change up environment – add music, go to a cafe or outside (depending on local quarantine measures)
  • try dictation
  • Trudi found shifting from 3 act structure to 4 act structure helpful
  • set a deadline
  • mindset affirmations
  • try background music – rock or classical / brain fm
  • take a break and be understanding of yourself!
