This Beats Talent Every Time
What if talent is overrated?
In this episode of The Green Writer Show, bestselling authors S. D. Smith (The Green Ember) and Brett Harris (Do Hard Things, The Young Writer’s Workshop) explore why consistent habits beat raw talent every time.

You’ll discover:
- Why relying on inspiration is a trap
- How to build sustainable writing routines
- What the “100 for 100 Challenge” can do for your writing life
- The surprising power of rest as part of your discipline
- And why excellence isn’t magic — it’s a habit
