Instead, this is meant to be an inspiring & encouraging time! Listen to the episode as I describe why this practice of intentional reflection works and how it has helped me to adjust my writing routine.

How do I WANT my writing to feel? What emotions or adjectives come up? 3. When is my ideal creative time? When do I feel most alive and inspired? 4. What project lights me up the most right now? What do I want to devote my time to this month? 5. What is a big writing goal I am working on? What would be an amazing smaller goal to accomplish by the end of the month that would really move…
