Love Nancy’s wisdom, here and elsewhere, but the quote that most resonated for me today was “You have to think the whole way through your book.” Such a great guest essay!
"In this way, valuing our thinking as work can help, too, in fighting the time scarcity so many of us experience. Most of us don’t have the hours we might wish for to sit at our desks and type. But maybe you don’t need those endless uninterrupted hours." I love this. When I remember that time spent thinking also "counts" as work, it takes the pressure off.

Thanks, Violeta!
Agreed, Violeta! I felt that one like it was personally directed at me :) would be so much easier to click my way through a book...

Agreed. It's such a more holistic way of thinking about writing! I'm glad it takes the pressure off for you.
Love this so much! what a wonderful and insightful interview.
Thanks, Cara! I love what Nancy shares here. Still thinking about how to create thinking space in my own life...
