Let’s talk about what no one wants to admit during the holidays: it’s not the calendar that’s the problem—it’s the old writing habits that stop working when life gets full. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on why waiting for things to "calm down" keeps delaying your draft and what to do instead.

You don’t need 3 quiet hours and a peppermint latte. You need a habit you can turn on like a switch—especially when things get busy. I'll show you how to write during the holidays without daily writing, long sessions, or disappearing from your life.

This episode is for the writer who’s ready to start the new year already in motion—not trying to restart again.

You’re already writing. Maybe even published a few books.

But every time November rolls around, you find yourself defaulting to hustle—trying to squeeze words in between holiday plans, client deadlines, and everything else you manage.

Here’s the truth: writing under pressure doesn’t prove your dedication. It just drains your peace.

In this episode, I’m talking to the author who’s done Novel November, self-paced challenges, maybe even launched books… but still hasn’t found a writing habit that actually works with real life.

If you’re writing in stolen minutes, breadcrumbing your book together while holding down your job, business, and family—this isn’t a time issue. It’s a design issue.

Let’s talk about what changes when your writing habit protects your focus and respects your time.

This time, it’s not about starting strong.
It’s about finishing smarter.

→ Up to 10,000 words in a week
→ Draft done in 4 months or less
→ Still showing up fully for your life

It’s possible. And it’s not too late to make this November count.

Writing isn’t a luxury—it’s a decision. You don’t need the perfect season, endless hours, or a retreat to finally get your book done. What you need is a way to write that fits your real life—kids, career, business, caregiving, all of it.

If you’re tired of circling the same draft and waiting for calm that never comes, this episode is your wake-up call. Because deep down, you know you’re not behind—you’re buried. And you deserve better than unfinished manuscripts and late-night guilt.

It’s time to protect your writing like it matters—because it does. In this episode, I’m showing you why writing is not indulgence, but the smartest, most powerful decision you can make right now.

You already have the story. Now it’s about finishing it—without burning out or putting your life on hold.
