How I Stay Motivated to Write (Even When I Don’t Want To)

Описание: Let’s be real: writing isn’t always fun or easy—even when it’s what you love.
In today’s video, I’m chatting about how I stay motivated to write on the hard days. Whether I’m editing a book that’s haunted me for 15 years (Echoes of Us) or trying to write a spicy scene for After the Badge, these are the things that actually help:

✍️ Writing sprints (especially live on YouTube!)
🎧 Vibes + music + low-stakes rituals
🔥 Progress over perfection mindset
💛 Public accountability (aka telling the internet I’m writing)

If you’re struggling to sit down and work on your creative project, this video is for you. Pull up a chair, light a candle, and let’s talk about how we keep going.
