Description

Writing with ADHD can feel like chaos — but it doesn’t have to.

In this episode, I sit down with book coach and author Nicole Bross to explore brain-friendly strategies that help neurodiverse writers focus, follow through, and finally finish their drafts. You’ll learn how to design a writing process that fits your brain instead of fighting against it.

We’ll talk about:
 ✨ Why persistence matters more than consistency for ADHD writers
 ✨ How to outline without killing your creativity
✨ Simple ways to handle distractions and idea overwhelm
✨ What to do when perfectionism or fear of failure creeps in
✨ How to embrace messy first drafts and make revision the fun part
✨ Nicole’s free writing habit tracker that turns progress into motivation

By the end, you’ll have a gentler, more sustainable way to write — one that honors how your brain actually works and helps you bring your stories to life with less struggle and more joy.

Grab Nicole’s Writing Habit Tracker — a spreadsheet that tracks your daily word count, changes color when you hit your target, and turns habit-building into a visual game.
