Welcome to the circle

If you’re a writer, you’re probably no stranger to creative blocks, those days when nothing about your craft feels quite right.

Instead of telling stories, you’re playing word Tetris with the same five paragraphs and ducking away to make yet another absolutely vital cup of tea, desperately hoping you’ll stop feeling so stuck.

Sometimes, the block goes deeper than a passing frustration — and the longer it sticks around, the more impossible it feels to overcome.

But you don't have to make huge, complicated changes to access creative flow in your life. Small shifts can make deep transformations. And that means you can start right now.

The Inspirited Word is a monthly podcast for writers ready to stop second-guessing their storytelling and ready to start breathing life and spirit back into their craft.

Join us as we rediscover the radical magic in our stories... and actually get those powerful stories on the page.
