Episode 22: Feeling Stuck? Here’s How I Got Writing Again
Rekindle your creativity with the mindful practice of handwriting.
When your writing practice stalls, the blank page can feel like a wall. In this episode of Write, Writer, Write! I share my first-week experience in the November Manuscript Momentum Challenge and how returning to pen and paper helped me rediscover creative flow. Learn what neuroscience reveals about handwriting, why it invites a deeper connection between body and mind, and how modern authors still rely on longhand to awaken their imagination. Slow down, tune in, and find out what happens when your hand moves just a little slower than your thoughts.
If you would prefer to listen, Write, Writer, Write! is also available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

I love writing by hand and go back and forth with this method and the computer to shape my manuscript. It really does help!
Good Morning Deb!!
What an excellent lesson!! I’m going to follow your guidance and start using handwriting to put my ideas down. I didn’t realize how using the computer reduces your creativity in the beginning. Your video was great to watch and you sure are talented! Thanks so much for sharing!!
