Angie and Elizabeth look at how the busy person (and who isn’t?) makes time, finds time, steals time for writing. How to have your writer’s toolbelt stocked and ready at all times, walking and dictating with app advice, writing while asleep, writing before you speak, writing in short sprints, in small windows, letting go, setting expectations and intentions, and giving up perfection–of circumstance and of product. We also touch on the infinite and mutable self, inspired free writing, creating complexity through meaningful contradictions, and stealing our idols’ approaches and attitudes. If you struggle to squeeze writing into your life, this is the episode for you.
