Being Stuck vs Misalignment - Part 3
StoryTellers, I want to share something that took me too long to learn. I once spent 6 months "stuck" on a script. I tried every productivity hack, every outline method, every writing sprint. Nothing worked.
Then I asked myself: "Am I actually stuck, or is this project asking me to be someone I'm not?"
Turns out, it was misalignment burnout. The story was technically fine. But it didn't match the writer I was becoming, the themes I actually cared about, the voice I was growing into. The moment I permitted myself to pivot (not quit but pivot), the energy came back.
So here's my question for you, StoryTellers:
Are you stuck on your project, or are you facing misalignment burnout? And if it's the second one, what's one small way you could realign this project with who you are now, instead of who you were when you started it? Would love to hear where you're at.
