About this listen

You’ve planned to buy the cover.
You’ve booked the editor.
You’ve even mapped out your promo schedule.

But the one thing you didn’t plan for?
The actual time it takes to write the book.

That part? You’ve just been hoping it’ll work itself out between work, family, client deadlines, and reheated coffee. But let’s be honest: it’s not working—and you know it.

In this episode, I’m saying what no one else will: It’s not your fault. You’re not undisciplined. You’ve just never had a system that protects your writing time from everything else pulling at you.

If you're tired of circling the same draft, writing in guilt-filled bursts, and waiting for “the right time”—this one’s for you.

📩 Ready to take your writing seriously without giving up your life to do it?
