27: Pushing Through Chaos In Your Big Writing Project

Have you ever excitedly started out on a writing project and let the words pour out for weeks, only to lose steam? When you take a step back, the words feel jumbled. Everything appears messy, out of order — it feels like chaos.

Most people bump into chaos in their writing and do one of three things:

  1. Feel overwhelmed and do nothing.

  2. Switch to another writing project that feels easier.

  3. Trust that the order is in there and push through.

Which one do you typically default to when the writing feels hard?

Usually, all we need is to pause, reassess the project, and even other areas of our life before moving forward again.

What you’ll hear about in this episode:

  • Chaos in your writing can be representative of chaos in other areas of your life

  • Writing can feel messy and chaotic at times — the key is to trust that order will come through

  • When a writing project feels overwhelming, how you can switch your focus so you can get moving, because once you get going, you’ll find your flow and create momentum

  • Why it’s totally normal for your feelings to change throughout your writing project
