The Art of Letting Go
Sometimes the hardest part of writing a novel isn't figuring out what happens next. It's accepting that the brilliant scene you planned, the character you love, or even the entire story you've been working on just isn't going to work out the way you imagined. And that's okay!
In this episode, hosts Kristina and Liz talk about the art of letting go, from abandoning old projects and beloved ideas to making peace with unexpected changes in your story. They explore the importance of staying flexible, accepting that your creative priorities can change, and recognizing that even the ideas that don't make it into your finished novel still have value.
