In this episode of Three Lesbians and a Pen, bestselling authors Kimberly Todd, KC Luck, and Jamey Moody dive into one of the biggest struggles for writers—actually sitting down and writing the f***ing book. Whether it’s self-doubt, procrastination, or just figuring out how to start, they share tips, tricks, and a whole lot of laughter to help you push past the obstacles and get words on the page.

KC talks about how fear held her back from writing for years until a challenge from her brother changed everything. Jamey shares how she first started writing during downtime at work and how setting goals (and sometimes taking a long walk) helps her stay on track. Kimberly reveals why she writes at 4 AM and how tracking word counts keeps her motivated.

The hosts also discuss whether writing in order or jumping around works best, how to trick your brain into writing even when you don’t feel like it, and why their creative spaces and routines are so different—some need silence, others need music, and one of them swears by Cheetos and The View.

If you’ve been struggling to get started or need a little motivation to keep going, this episode is full of advice and relatable moments to get you back in the writing zone.

Next week, they kick off Ask Us Anything, so send in your questions!
