Episode 25 – Writing Through a Crisis

Anna and I talk about the impact of crisis on our writing.

What is a crisis? It can be an illness or the death of a family member, or it can be smaller, such as a broken-down car or a cancelled appointment.

A crisis can happen to anyone, at any time and can derail life. Crisis makes it difficult and sometimes impossible to achieve goals and carry on writing.

We can try to build resilience in our routines to mitigate the effects, but sometimes it’s best to modify writing goals and focus on self-care.

Let us know if you have any tips for dealing with stress and be kind to yourself. Take care.
