## Resource

Writing a book isn’t a straight shot from idea to finished manuscript—it’s a long, creative journey filled with pauses, slowdowns, and moments that feel like a full stop. This episode breaks down why those pauses are not only normal but essential, how to recognize the different kinds of slowdowns, and how to return to your project with clarity instead of shame. If you’ve ever worried that a break meant you’d lost your momentum, this conversation will help you see pauses as part of the process—not the end of it.🔗 You've got the story. You've got the idea. You just don't know the steps in the process. If this is what's holding your memoir back, I have got the solution for you. The memoir method checklist is going to take you through every single step you need from idea to published marketable book.
