014: It's All Uphill From Here!
A Writer's Day
08/27/19 • 17 min
Let me know what you think of this episode!
Ever take on a project and then immediately regret that decision? As a writer and a runner, I've been there! In this episode, I discuss how some writing projects can be too intimidating, like a runner at the bottom of a hill, that we want to walk away and give up.
But running uphill isn't impossible! It takes skill, determination, and a strong will. It's the same with those difficult writing projects.
