Episode 36: How to Write When You Don’t Feel Like Writing

Show Notes for Episode 36: How to Write When You Don’t Feel Like Writing

Every writer has been there.  You are not alone.  Even the seasoned pros have their bad days – or weeks.  

If writing is your dream, a stalemate with the screen is something you can get over. Perhaps it’s just a muse strike… but there might be more to it.  Maybe there is something amiss with the work itself that is causing your stagnation.  Or perhaps it’s a personal issue.

In this episode Holly and Rebecca discuss various reasons why you might be having a harder time sitting down to get those words written – and what to do about it.
