Procrastination takes many forms for writers, and it holds us back from writing, publishing and promoting our work. We discuss how to get out of your own way with our guest today, Kathryn Burnett. Kathryn is an awardwinning screenwriter, playwright, author and writing coach who has worked in the television/film/arts industry for over 25 years.

“It's never been easier to put your work into the world and yet many writers don’t write as productively as they'd like to. They have the best intentions in the world but find themselves distracted, anxious about their work and deeply unsatisfied with their progress.” Kathryn Burnett

Kathryn offers practical tips for us all to:

✔ Identify the red flags of perfectionism

✔ Uncover how you are procrastinating and then how to deal with this

✔ Why selfreflection is so important ask yourself “Why am I not prioritizing my writing at the moment?”

✔ Time blocking

✔ Wrestling with doubts and demons
