How to Keep Writing When Your Body Won’t Cooperate

Most writing advice assumes you have a healthy body and a full tank of energy. But what if you don't? What if chronic pain, fatigue, brain fog, or an autoimmune disease makes every paragraph a fight?

Some authors have a bad week or a bad month, but others deal with conditions unlikely to ever go away.

So how do you write with a chronic health challenge?

In this week’s episode, you’ll hear from Glenna Marshall, who has published six books and many articles, most of them while living with a painful and rare autoimmune disease. Her new book, Praying in Pain, is the resource she wished someone had handed her when the pain first started 16 years ago.

You’ll discover

• Scheduling tips that can help you get the most out of your good days

• Tools that can help you work when you can barely walk

• Encouragement for your soul for the very hard days

• What to do when you can’t do anything

Whether you live with chronic illness yourself or you want to understand a fellow writer who does, this episode will change the way you think about productivity, calling, and what faithfulness looks like when every word costs more than it should.
