What happens when your inner critic gets too loud?

To me, the inner critic usually says, “You’re not good enough!” or “You’re not disciplined enough to be a real writer.”

In this episode, adapted from my 90-Day Writing Accelerator, I’ll guide you through a simple mindset shift to silence the self-doubt and move forward with confidence.

Here’s the approach we’ll explore together:

Listen to what your inner critic is saying and know it’s not true.
You have a choice. Consider what changes you can make in your writing habit, process, or project. What can you learn from this moment?

Whenever I believe the inner critic, I get stuck. But every moment of “failure” is a chance to examine my process and grow.

When a Book Becomes Medicine: Interview with "Land Beneath the Waves" Author Nic Wilson 41:12

6 weeks ago41:12

41:12

What if the story you were meant to write was also the one that would change your life? In this episode, I’m joined by Nic Wilson —nature writer, editor, and author of the luminous memoir Land Beneath the Waves . Nic shares how this book came to her not as a plan, but as a compulsion —a voice that wouldn't quiet until it was written. Through grief, chronic illness, and deep connection to the land, Nic found not only her story—but a new version of herself. In our interview, we explore how memoir becomes more than memory: it becomes medicine. If you’ve ever doubted your strength, if you’re writing through illness or grief, or if a book has ever saved your life—you’ll feel deeply at home in this conversation. We explore: How Land Beneath the Waves “demanded to be written”—and why Nic couldn’t resist the call The link between writing, healing, and reclaiming power What chronic illness taught her about landscape and the body How she moved from self-doubt to radical self-compassion Favourite quote from the episode: “I wasn’t sure if I was strong enough. I think before writing this, I’d have said I’m not a strong person. But writing the book showed me something else.” - Nic Wilson About Nic Wilson Nic is a writer, editor and Guardian country diarist. She works for BBC Gardeners’ World Magazine , specialising in wildlife, wild plants and environmental issues. Her work has appeared in numerous magazines and anthologies including Under the Changing Skies: The Best of The Guardian Country Diaries 2018-2024 , Going to Ground: An Anthology of Nature and Place , and Moving Mountains , described as a ‘first-of-its-kind’ anthology of nature writing by disabled and chronically ill writers. Her debut memoir, Land Beneath the Waves , is a lyrical meditation on illness, memory, and the power of nature to heal and transform.

What if the bold, wise version of you — the one who’s already written the book — could whisper exactly what you need to hear right now? In this special episode, you’ll experience a powerful somatic meditation recorded live during my 5-day course Start Your Book with Automatic Writing . This body-based ritual guides you into alignment with your Future Self — the one who already knows what to write, how to say it, and how to show up without shrinking or censoring. Participants wrote the opening lines of their next book Some received direct, loving messages from their inner guidance Others felt a new creative rhythm emerge in their body — and followed it straight into flow This is not just a visualisation. It’s an energetic shift. You’ll be guided through the meditation activation — then given a writing prompt and two minutes of soft meditation music to begin your next page. And here's the prompt for you to keep: “Knowing that I’m embodying my Future Self, what do I most need to hear right now?” Let the answer arrive. Then write.

Ever feel like you’re stepping into the unknown—whether in writing or in life? It's uncomfortable, isn't it... But you’re not alone. As writers and creatives, we often have to navigate the 'fog', moving forward even when the destination isn’t clear. In this short, reflective Write Walk episode, I invite you to embrace the uncertainty, trust the process, and view writing (and life) as a journey of transformation, not just goal-setting. Together, we’ll take a walk through the fog (literally) and explore: The power of taking steps before the path is fully revealed. Why creativity often requires walking through the unknown. How to keep writing even when you're unsure. This isn’t just about finishing a writing project—it’s about stepping into trust in all areas of your life. Let’s walk into the fog together. You’re exactly where you need to be. #writehabit P.S. Next week we'll talk about one way to deal with uncertainty: automatic writing. I'm so excited to bring that episode to you (and an invitation to learn the technique with me). Stay tuned, subscribe, share... and talk soon!
