Still Struggling To Write Consistently…

As a writer, it is incredibly frustrating when you find yourself NOT writing. It’s hard to explain, but there’s a kind of pressure that builds up inside you. It keeps building and building and building and BUILDING… and if the pressure is not released through writing then it comes out in other ways. The way you treat others. Your health. Depression. Frustration.

For Immediate Release Podcast #56: Strategy? What strategy?
