3 simple strategies to return to your writing even when life gets in the way — fresh from my writing coaching practice
Recently, two writers in my 90-day writing program came to me with an urgent question — typical for the fall season where everybody gets busy with life and writing moves to the background:
“I need top tips for the days when I miss my writing window but still want to feel connected to my project.”
“How can I avoid feeling like I’m losing touch with it when I’m busy doing other things?”
These are common worries for writers juggling multiple responsibilities. Academics, authors with a day job, or simply writers with families. Missing a writing session — or even whole day — feels like you’re losing grip on the progress you’ve made. What happens next is often worse. Guilt and stress creep in, which can lead to procrastination or even writer’s block.
So, how do you reconnect with your writing when you ‘skipped a day’? Here are three steps directly from our coaching conversation to help you get back on track.
