Episode 58: Find Joy ... Or A New Schedule

You don't have to fill up your time. You can quit a project if it isn't bringing you joy. Sometimes switching your focus to a project or type of writing you really love can help you progress as a writer. And you can always re-start our 7 Days to a Writing Routine eBook (sign up for our newsletter to receive it.)

We discuss all these things and more in Episode 58, a catch-up episode that gets into some specific coping mechanisms for time management and finding joy in your writing.

Episode 57: What we learned about other ways of making money

In this season, we've done a series of research episodes, where we comb through the internet to find out answers to how this whole money and writing thing works. Today we are presenting the results of our research on a bucket of stuff we call "everything else":

• eBooks and self-publishing;
• Newsletters and Patreon;
• Speaking; and
• Online courses.

As always, we have put the sources for our discussion below. This is an introduction on what you can expect to take into account when you're considering pursuing these as income streams. The bottom line is if you're planning for this to replace your day job income, you will need to put a lot of time into it - more or less exchanging one day job for another. And that might be fine, but you should just get ready to hustle.

Episode 56: Words & Ideas for 2019

Today's episode is our first one of 2019, and so we do a very brief summary of how we feel about our 2018s, and then move on to our words and plans for the year. We draw on everything from recently read novels to The Artist's Way, and we are very excited for what the new year will bring us.
