Hi Danielle! I love your online YouTube writing course. I use it all the time. I had a question. I love to write, but I never have the stamina or I get bored. What is your advice to stay focused or should I adapt to my environment or tips to keep me interested? Thanks! Peachy Keen Reads goodreads.com/readwiththehive

Hi, thanks for asking and thank you for watching This Writer's Life!
One thing that might help is sequestering your phone and setting a timer for, say, 15 minutes to focus on writing. I try to write (or otherwise work on a project) for at least one hour every day and it's amazing how much you can accomplish in a relatively short amount of time.
Another tip is to set out on a walk (or bike ride, etc.) with the intention of thinking about your work in progress. Walking is a big part of my writing process and movement always lights up my story brain. Then, when I'm done with the walk, I'm amped and excited to write down what I thought about (and made voice memos about) as soon as I can get to it, which also helps keep up momentum.
Do let me know if these are helpful! Best of luck!

I just finished Zinnia and the Bees. I absolutely loved it! I was wondering if there will be another Zinnia story with Birch too? Thanks!
