They truly transformed my writing practice into a regular thing that catapulted my writing to new levels of productivity and inspiration.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-9712\" src=\"https:\/\/jodieburdette.net\/lisatener\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/sunset-writing-300x153.png\" alt=\"writing sunset\" width=\"300\" height=\"153\" \/>As a reminder, here are a <strong>few tips to fuel your writing and productivity<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Manage anxiety to get over resistance or blocks<\/strong>: Tell yourself a new message, if self-doubt creeps in, for example.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Write every morning first thing for 30 minutes<\/strong>: This is my go-to now. I often end up writing more. You can also use this time to edit if you&#8217;re at that phase, whatever moves you forward.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Identify anything that might set you back<\/strong>: For me it was banning novels from my bedroom so I wouldn&#8217;t end up staying up too late reading. Now I&#8217;m reading a terrific self-help book by Gay Hendricks, <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Big-Leap-Conquer-Hidden-Level\/dp\/0061735361\" target=\"_blank\">The Big Leap: Conquer Your Hidden Fear and Take Life to the Next Level<\/a>. This book is super-inspiring, with great information, but a little goes a long way. I can read a bit and mull it over, absorbing it as I sleep. It&#8217;s doesn&#8217;t have the suspense of a novel, that pushes me to turn the page and turn the page deep into the night. Perfect.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Get in the right head space for writing<\/strong> by breathing, moving, time in nature or whatever works for you to support an altered state of flow.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Read more about my breakthrough and have your own <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/jodieburdette.net\/lisatener\/2019\/05\/heres-how-to-finish-writing-a-book\/\" target=\"_blank\">writing breakthrough<\/a> in your writing routine, commitment and productivity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m excited to be working on a book this summer (and my book proposal for it) and can&#8217;t wait to share my inspiration with you when the time comes.
