Falling Back in Love with Writing

The Author Wheel Podcast

When motivation is flagging, how do you fall back in love with writing?
The key lies in self-awareness—recognizing your introversion, extroversion, or something in between, and how these traits fuel your creative fire. Our personal stories and practical strategies will guide you to embrace who you are and channel your innate strengths into a writing career that's not just productive, but profoundly fulfilling.
Our quick tips for this week:

1. Spend some time learning about yourself. Take a personality test and think about how the results might apply to your writing life.
2. Review your past. What worked before, that maybe you've lost track of?
3. If you're struggling right now, think about what threw you off course. Is there a way to bring yourself back into alignment?
4. Finish up your obligations so you can give yourself the time and space to create.
5. Work on a palate cleanser: a fun story that you find inspiring but that might not be part of your current series.

Don't forget!
The Writing Romance Mastery Summit will take place from February 19, 2024 through February 23, 2024, and we promise it’ll be a top-notch event. Paula Judith is bringing together the biggest names and most knowledgeable experts to share their best secrets.
