I am a nomadic writer. Jumping from the couch, dining table, kitchen counter, and my bed feels like a small change in scenery. Where does everyone else like to write?

Writers — here’s one of my favorite hacks that changed everything for me. You don’t always have to type your book. You can talk it out. ✨ I wrote my entire last book using this method — literally over one weekend!I outlined it clearly first… then opened a voice-to-text app, hit record, and just talked my book out loud as if explaining it to a friend. 🎙️ Tool I used: Otter.ai — it’s free to try and automatically transcribes what you say. Then I cleaned up the transcript, rearranged sections, and boom — a rough draft was born. 💡 Why it works: - Your spoken voice is often more natural, clear, and authentic. - You bypass perfectionism — it’s flow, not editing. - You can literally “write” while walking, cooking, or commuting. 🔥 Today’s Mini-Challenge: Try it!Open your outline, hit record, and talk through one section of your book.
