Ruth's Slow Living Story - writing a novel during the pandemic

Slow Living Podcast with Host Stephanie O'Dea Episode 75 - Ruth's Slow Living Storysee all podcast notes at stephanieodea.com/podcastnotesWe are welcomed on the podcast today by Ruth Bush, who shares that she used the Slow Down of the pandemic to write her first novel.Waves on the Potomoc is now available — and Ruth‘s author website is here.Ruth‘s story is one that we can ALL relate to — when she was in college, a palm reader told her that she had a novel inside of her — And Ruth agreed. But then life happened. Fast forward more than twenty years, and the lockdown months of the pandemic urged Ruth to finally start writing the story that had been percolating in her brain on and off for so many years. I think we all have this urge, this inkling to DO what we’ve been putting off — and it’s so terribly easy to keep shelving this urge and this inkling. Listen as Ruth shares how she decided to just “go for it” and how she structured her day to find time to write — If you’ve been looking for a sign to get started on whatever YOUR “something” is — this is it.Overview I love helping listeners embark upon their own journey to Slow Down, and live the life they’ve always dreamt about: one filled with peace, purpose, and abundance.I understand how you’re feeling when you are rushing around trying to do “all the things,” always playing catch up and finding time to get things done.I know because I’m a mom too.It’s okay to stop and breathe. My philosophy isn’t about cramming more and more into an already over-packed schedule, instead I offer realistic tips and plans to get things done quickly and efficiently so you can do things you want to do.Show Links Simple Shortcuts to Peace - https://stephanieodea.com/peaceNew You - https://stephanieodea.com/newyouMasterclass - https://stephanieodea.com/masterclass/Simple Shortcuts to Peace - https://stephanieodea.com/peace/Website - https://stephanieodea.comBlog - https://stephanieodea.com/blog/Podcast Page - https://stephanieodea.com/podcastSpeaking Opportunities - https://stephanieodea.com/speaking/Coaching Opportunities - https://stephanieodea.com/coaching/Courses - https://stephanieodea.com/courses/Contact -
