Most writers believe they need long, grueling writing sessions to make real progress. But what if I told you that’s a lie?
Science proves that short, daily writing challenges build skill faster, stronger, and with less burnout than marathon writing sprints.
And today, I’ll show you exactly why.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
✔️ The battle between Maximus the Marathoner and Celia the Challenger—and why one fails while the other thrives
✔️ The neuroscience behind why short, daily practice accelerates mastery faster than long, sporadic sessions
✔️ A high-intensity writing challenge to train your creative reflexes in just 10 minutes a day
By the end of this episode, you’ll know how to write smarter—not harder.
🎧 Listen now.
Keep the words rolling and the adventure unfolding,
Bonnie Jean
