Year of Writing Magically:
Why Mindset Matters

This is the lecture every YOWM cohort hears first, and there's a reason we start here.

Before craft, before structure, before any of the good stuff: mindset. Because the way you think about yourself as a writer shapes everything else, usually without you noticing.

In this episode, Lani introduces what Year of Writing Magically is and how it works — then digs into mindset itself, drawing on neuroscientist Anne-Laure Le Cunff's research on how our default, often unconscious perspectives drive our behavior, decisions, and emotions. By the end, you'll have a clearer picture of what's actually getting in your way — and what YOWM does about it.
