S3 Ep99: How to Stay Obsessed With Your Book

Writing a book is a long game. There will be highs, lows and a few “why did I even start this?” days.

But if you want to actually finish the thing (and enjoy the process a little more), there’s one thing that makes all the difference: your energy.

In this episode, I’m talking about the power of being obsessed with your book — not in a tattoo-the-title-on-your-arm kind of way — but in a grounded, focused, I actually want to write this kind of way.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why your energy literally shows up in your writing (and how readers can feel it)
  
  
• The neuroscience behind energy, focus and getting your book finished
  
  
• How to choose the right idea to stay emotionally connected to
  
  
• The big mindset shift that helped me pivot book #8 — and finally enjoy writing again
  
  
• Practical rituals, playlists and mood-boosting tricks to get back in the zone
  
  
• Why writing with other people (and not in isolation) is so important

Whether you’re in the messy middle of your manuscript or still flirting with the idea of writing one, this episode is here to help you rekindle your spark — and maybe even fall back in love with your book a bit.

I hope you enjoy listening.
