This will be so helpful! I write a blog primarily on Grief & Loss. It always starts out as random, seemingly in-cohesive threads that I am left to wonder how it will ever weave together. And even though I eventually get somewhere, I can see these five words offering a loom for the threads. Thank you✨.

Oh, and love your Substack, Podcast, etc. 🧡

Oh, I like this. Thank you. Exactly the trick I use when I realize I'm mostly writing about how I can't write. I then pause, reset, and imagine I'm talking to someone: "What I'm trying to say is...". Or talking to myself - "I want to write about...etc." It works every time.
