Have you been writing your book for so long that you just want it to be over?

The excitement is gone.

You’re no longer celebrating progress.

You’re simply pushing through, hoping to finally finish.

In this episode, I want to talk to the aspiring authors who feel burned out, disconnected, or joyless in their writing process. Pulled from a recent live training inside the Book Writing Made Simple Community, this episode explores a powerful mindset shift to help you find joy again while writing your book, even when the journey feels long.

If you’ve been writing for years, restarting over and over, or measuring your progress by how long it’s taking instead of how far you’ve come, this episode is for you.

You’ll be encouraged to reconnect with the purpose behind your book, celebrate small wins, and view your writing as something worth honoring right where you are.

🎧 Tune in and rediscover joy in the process, not just the finish line.

Be Encouraged,

DS
