Writing Woods with Victoria Griffin
The warm story rule to reconnect with your writing
The longer you're away from your story, the harder it can feel to come back. Your story has gone cold, and forcing yourself through another writing session can actually make it harder to reconnect. Today I'm sharing recent struggles I've had with my writing process. We'll talk about why losing contact with your story makes writing progressively harder. And then we'll work on building a sustainable writing practice by focusing on connection instead of word count. ️ Become a Founding Camper: https://writingwoods.com/camp-waitlist ⏱️ TIME STAMPS 00:00 - Why writing has felt harder 01:21 - How I lost contact with my story 03:30 - Why keeping a story warm matters 04:20 - Why re-entering a story is so hard 04:47 - The downward spiral 06:15 - How the spiral works in reverse 06:44 - Address what pulled you away 07:07 - Change the writing goal 08:35 - Reconnect with your story 10:55 - Take the pressure off 12:22 - Keep your story warm RESOURCES MENTIONED Deep outlining - https://youtu.be/GD9N1RXMZH0 WRITING WOODS PODCAST YouTube → https://writingwoods.com/youtube Spotify → https://writingwoods.com/spotify Apple → https://writingwoods.com/apple BOOK EDITING Thoughtful, passionate editing → https://victoriagriffin.com FOLLOW ME Instagram → https://instagram.com/vgriffinauthor Facebook → https://facebook.com/vgriffinauthor
