If writing (or finally finishing) your memoir is on your heart this year, you’re not alone. The trouble is, most of us focus so much on the distant finish line that we burn out before we ever build momentum. In this video, I’m breaking down five simple, repeatable habits that will help you make real, steady progress — and finally finish your book in 2026.Part of the process of becoming a writer is learning how to read like a writer--to see the bones of structure and past the words to what choices the author is making and why they are (or aren't) working in the interest of the story. That's why Page and Podium is excited to announce our upcoming new Memoir Method Book Club, where each month we will be reading and examining a memoir with a writer's eye to learn more about what we can apply (or avoid) in our own work. 📅 New videos every Tuesday - subscribe and never miss an update!Timestamps:3:14--First Habit: Block off writing time8:50--Second Habit: Read other memoirs13:23-- Third Habit: Think about journaling practice16:59-- Fourth Habit: Plan your next writing session before ending one19:38-- Fifth Habit: Talk about your book👉 **Follow Us:**- **LinkedIn:** [Page and Podium Press](https://www.linkedin.com/company/page-and-podium-press/)- **Facebook:** [Page and Podium Press](https://www.facebook.com/pageandpodiumpress)- **Instagram:** [@pageandpodiumpress](https://www.instagram.com/pageandpodiumpress/)🎵 Music I Use: BensoundLicense code: FZ3LM4DGUTQYKAESDon't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more writing tips and strategies.
