Finally, finish your book with effective writing strategies designed to work in harmony with your neurodivergent mind. Does sitting down to write your book feel impossible on some days, while on other days, you can write for hours on end? Maybe you feel guilty whenever someone says, "Real writers write every day" or "Just stick to a routine,"—but here"s the thing—your neurodivergent brain may not work that way. And that"s totally okay. In this episode, I"ve brought together four amazing writing coaches and book editors who either specialize in working with neurodivergent authors and ADHD writers or are neurodivergent themselves. And they’re here to share their best writing tips for finishing your book.  Even if you"re not neurodivergent, you"ll want to tune in because these writing strategies are pure gold. Here’s what we talk about: [02:55] How to tap into your natural neurodivergent energy cycles (from intense hyperfocus to foggy days) so that these energy cycles become your writing superpower. [09:16] Why there"s nothing wrong with your neurodivergent writing process just because it’s different from the standard writing advice (or what others say you should do.) [16:08] What to do when writing suddenly feels impossible because your brain sees it as a demand instead of a choice. [22:06] Discover the magic of having an accountability partner in your corner who understands your unique writing process and celebrates progress on your terms.
