Sometimes just showing up isn’t enough. You’ve set time aside for writing and instead of your story unfurling on the page (or screen) other things come out. In this episode, we’ll discuss author Anne Lamott’s struggle and solutions to this problem from her book Bird by Bird. First we’ll tackle the good voice, the inspiration that we keep ignoring, Lamott calls this the “Broccoli” then the bad voice “Station K-FUK” and finally that thing that will tear you apart, jealousy.

And, as a bonus, Kim talks about the highs and lows from her trip to Japan (check out our show notes for a very scary video of mountain leeches)

Remember, we have a Writers Process/Writing Sprint meetup every Wednesday. Check us out.
