Reflections on NaNoWriMo with Writer Amanda Bintz: Following Intuition and Rediscovering Joy

Jordan’s friend and fellow writer Amanda Bintz is back! In this episode, they reflect on their experiences with NaNoWriMo, National Novel Writing Month, and the surprising realizations they uncovered about their writing processes.

Together, they explore what worked best for them, the challenges of meeting external goals, and the importance of following intuition in storytelling.

This episode is a case study in remembering how to tell stories in a way that feels good, focusing on creativity and authenticity rather than just ticking off word count milestones.
