Hello, hello! As someone who has written for a living either as a copywriter or a ghost writer, I've always struggled to fit in other types of writing alongside work. It never feels a priority and despite knowing what I *should* be doing (because I'm a coach and have co-written a book about it) it's hard to do. I guess that just means I'm human! At the moment, I write this newsletter, I get commissions from a publishing client and we are researching (slowly) the topic of our next book.

Hello Bec here 👋 along with writing this newsletter, blogs and articles, and researching the next non-fiction book with Chris, I have a side project novel-in-progress which is a delight to work on, but very low down the priority list.

While it might be my job to research the blocks and barriers writers face - I also struggle with finding time to write, distraction, procrastination and perfectionism. As the saying goes - much research is 'me'search.

What helps me write is having regular routine, being in a writing group and also being inspired by finding out how other writers try, fail and keep going.
