When Words Collide 2026

Let's talk about every writer's nemesis...BOREDOM. Many writers get to a point in their process where they lose interest in their book or notice that it’s a lot harder to motivate themselves to write. You might be distracted by a shiny new idea for a different story, or realize that you don’t have a very good understanding of your plot and characters. Maybe your confidence is wavering and you’re not sure if what you’re writing is any good. Guess what: it’s all related to dopamine, the brain’s feel-good hormone. When you first start working on a new book your brain is flooded with dopamine, which makes you eager to keep writing, but when boredom or doubt settles in, that steady supply of dopamine drops and you start to find more and more reasons to put your writing off for another day. But it doesn’t have to be this way! The key is to find new ways for your book to give you that surge of dopamine again, and this session will show you how to rekindle that love affair with your story so you’ll be excited to get back to writing.
