Growing up as “a good Catholic girl,” Lisa Bogart gave up something during Lent. One year, Lisa was encouraged to add on something, as a 40-day discipline.
In Episode 11 of The Professional Writer podcast, Lisa reveals what she added on, and how that childhood practice led to a lifelong commitment to share love through her writing, one reader at a time.
Lisa also talks about the writing-related anxieties that have been jolting her awake at night, and how she’s adjusting her attitude and her writing routine to cope with the anxiety.
If you’d like to develop a simple, inexpensive writing habit that will have a lasting impact on your family, friends, and acquaintances, tune in to Episode 11.
