The Writing Coach Podcast 107: The end

WCP107 The End

Habits can become so ingrained that we believe that they’re the way things are rather than a pattern we’ve started and that we can also end. Sometimes when it’s nearly time to turn in a piece, we’ll go over and over and over it again, working ourselves up in a way that produces diminishing returns for the procut and is the antithesis of self-care.

Habits can become so ingrained that we believe that they’re the way things are rather than a pattern we’ve started and that we can also end.

Sometimes when it’s nearly time to turn in a piece, we’ll go over and over and over it again, working ourselves up in a way that produces diminishing returns for the procut and is the antithesis of self-care.

One of my coaching clients did this regularly, along with the refrain that it was surely no good and that the last piece’s success was just a fluke–even though decades of this made a pretty convincing case that her work was consistently high quality. 

In this episode, you’ll hear how we broke through the thought-emotion pattern that caused her so much pain. Once this kind of pattern is exposed, a writer can always choose a different path moving forward.
