This episode is for the writer who keeps coming back to the same chapters to rewrite. I won’t ask you to tell me how many drafts you’ve worked through, but I’ll chance a guess that it’s more than three or four. I’ve seen this happen with brilliant writers, and it’s a spiral that will cannibalize your offer. You can get to a point where you’re OVER editing, OVER working your memoir, and you’ve lost the plot. Let’s talk about it.Episode 99: Breaking the Rewrite Cycle3 Hidden Reasons You Haven't Finished Your Memoir free videoJoin the Chapter One Jumpstart ChallengeYou can find me on Instagram @the.memoir.coach, Substack, Facebook, and YouTube.Join my email list to stay up to date on the podcast and everything else going on in Charlotte Writes.
