Ch. 79 | How to Overcome Shiny Object Syndrome

Show Notes

On this episode of the Word Weaver Podcast, I chat about an affliction that affects almost every writer I know. I, myself, have succumbed to a bad case of shiny object syndrome on more than one occasion. Today, I'm talking about what is shiny object syndrome? Why does it happen? And how can we overcome it (or at least learn to live with it)?
